Affordable Housing

I believe I had mentioned about rents going down in the city in another post, but this post covers afforable housing. Here is a great question. What is affordable housing?

According to the New York Times, a new website went live that offers insight into what is affordable in NYC. I think you will get something out of this information. This website has an interactive map that shows how income is distributed across the city by neighborhoods. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Thanks hhusted .. I checked out the interactive map and it played out just about right with my expectations about the demographics of the various NYC neighborhoods though it would be a great guide for someone who is not familiar with the city.

Great. I'm glad it was helpful for you. At first I could not believe how wealth was spread out, but after looking it over more carefully, I realized that is just the way it is in big cities like NYC.

When I took a long look at the Flash map, I could not believe what I saw. What a major difference it was between lower Manhattan and the Bronx. Incredible is all I can say.

Even the difference between the eastern part of lower Manhattan to the western part was astonishing.
