I've lived in Todt Hill since '92. I remember growing up and not seeing many black or Latinos since the early 2000's. Still, relatively safe compared to other projects. I imagine its the same everywhere.
I would like to see a study that compares the white/black population changes since the influx of NYCHA residents who were transferred from other developments. It's not a racial issue, it's a class issue.
I'm surprised sociologists haven't jumped on such a rare opportunity to understand such things.
I did a calculation before, but I don't feel like doing it a second time. All Mid-Island NYCHA were plurality White back in 2000, but now Berry and South Beach are plurality Hispanic, and Todt Hill is plurality Black. (I think the White population in all 3 of them is around 25% or so)
Yeah most of these limits across the board in housing are usually gross (pretax). Don't remember seeing many net if any at all.
But in any case the limit is at application. Not sure what the evaluation process is (if there is one at all) to remain in nycha. Is there some kind of recertification process like there is in section 8?
NYCHA does an annual household income review. Usually if your income increased they will just raise your rent, rather than evict you. Unless, of course, the housing manager doesn't like you.

There is a census tract in my neighborhood that has nothing but the Pelham Parkway Houses(NYCHA) in it.It shows the 2010 population demographics as 19% White.
So there are still a lot of white people living in this project anyway.

I've been searching for similar data sets for NYCHA developments but can't find any, only information pertaining to NYC as a whole and the individual boroughs. I think NYCHA has a newsletter every year that details your development's racial makeup though I'm not positive.

I only happened to notice it because I live in the area so I know the exact boundaries of the project.When I was looking at a recent census demographic map I realized the boundaries of 1 census tract were identical to the projects.
There is a separate ,high rise ,senior NYCHA building in my neighborhood called Boston Road Plaza.It is officially a division of Pelham Parkway Houses but is 4 or 5 blocks away from the main project and was built in the 70's.
Anyway,I have heard that the population in The Boston Road Plaza is more than 50% white and mostly Jewish.There are other large buildings in the same census tract so it's hard to separate out the population of the seniors project by itself.
This was an overwhelmingly white,jewish neighborhood until 20 or 25 years so none of this is really surprising.
The current CEO of Goldman Sachs grew up in an East New York project. Back in the 60s.
