The debate touched on a host of interconnected issues, including the city’s arcane property tax system and Mandatory Inclusionary Housing, a relatively new Zoning Resolution requirement that significantly upzoned residential lots include income-restricted housing.

    By the Numbers: Renters and Recovery

    June 9th 2021 |

    Each year, the NYU Furman Center publishes The State of New York City’s Housing and Neighborhoods report, a compilation of data and analyses looking at trends in housing development, homeownership, the rental market, and dozens of other indicators illustrating how New York and its neighborhoods changed over the past year. On May 26th, we hosted a virtual event to celebrate the launch of the 20th edition of the report. By the Numbers: Focus on Renters and Recovery, focused on an original dataset showing rent payment rates in a large sample primarily consisting of units in New York City’s affordable housing portfolio. Because most of the units in the sample require means-testing, this data provides a snapshot of the economic health facing low-income renters during the COVID-19 pandemic.
