Over the last decade, 49,094 units in 4+ unit buildings were built in Manhattan. 76% were market rate, compared to 19% that were income-targeted. We use data from a variety of sources to count the number of income-restricted units targeted to households earning between 80% and 165% of AMI. However, due to restricted availability of granular data our calculations of income-restricted units should be read as conservative estimates.
