Soundview Home Affordability

In 2007, the median household income in Bronx was $32,4092. Home affordability guidelines suggest that no more than 30% of household income be spent servicing a home loan. For the median Bronx household, this would have meant that a monthly mortgage payment should not have exceeded $810 using the 2007 average mortgage rate of 6.34%3. Combining this with 2007 property sales records, we can calculate that the median income household could have potentially afforded approximately 18.28% of the homes and apartments sold in Soundview in all of 2007.

1. All sales metrics are calculated from NYC Rolling and NYC Annual property sales. Metrics derived from rolling data are preliminary as some sales take months to report.

2. Affordability data, including median income by borough, are calculated from metrics in the NYC Datamine Economic and Housing Profile datasets.

3. Average mortgage rates are from Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey Archives and do not include points.
