Home Affordability in the 10021 zip code

In 2007, the median household income in Manhattan was $62,2682. Home affordability guidelines suggest that no more than 30% of household income be spent servicing a home loan. For the median Manhattan household, this would have meant that a monthly mortgage payment should not have exceeded $1,557 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 4.46% of the homes and apartments sold in 10021 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.
