It seems to me like NYC is extremely hard to live in for the middle or working class. It seems like the percentage of poor and rich compared to middle class in NYC is higher than in most other cities in the US. I could be easily wrong since I am not from NYC. I wanted to know what are the best areas in NYC for the middle and working classes rather it be a whole borough, specific neighborhoods, or both. And I also wanted to hear from anybody in this class range on the difficulty in living in this city.
What's your definition of middle class? I'd say $80,000/ household
Yeah you are going to have to define that. Middle class means a lot of things to different people. Keep in mind also 75,000 a year for a family of four is not the same as when you make that by yourself. Give an example of what is your typical middle class family size and salary for that size.
Yeah I know that it has a different definition in every area that's why I put middle class or working class. I do have a family too. I guess I will say between $50,000 and $75,000 a year for a family of four. What is the definition of middle and working class in NYC? What is the poverty line?
Queens.. but it's hard to say.. because I wouldn't say Eastern Queens is middle-class, and that's a good chunk of Queens, but maybe western Queens is, so I don't know..
If you believe easiest = most affordable..it is hands down the Bronx..your money will go the farthest and your housing options will be ABUNDANT.
