Many articles talk about the income inequality gap in the world being the worst in manhattan . It shows the reality many think of , lots of wealthy people . But also shows the other side , many poor people living side by side . The old back in the day movies show this but people think now manhattan is paradise . “ Oh you live in manhattan your rich “ , when the poverty rate for manhattan is much higher then queens .
The good thing I can draw from this is that these poorer people have more access to nice restaurents and other great things the city has to offer in comparison to people in areas with extreme poverty and lack of resources like people in bronx and Brooklyn . However isiolated manhattan areas like far in East Harlem can be feel like it’s Own world and can be similar to the south bronx and Brownsville . while the lower Eastside has a mix of poverty and being close to many things just like people in williamsburg and Astoria , kinda good neighborhoods with bad parts
I’ve seen a similar map that shows people income by block but it’s hard to read a lil but , this new illustration shows the poverty areas in the city .
As expected areas with almost no poverty are the upper east side besides the block projects that border east Harlem by the river . the west village / Greenwich village and TriBeCa are also as expected , very wealthy areas with no low income housing or shelters . Upper westside from Lincoln center to 86 street is also exclusively upper class , with the poor in the Amsterdam houses below and many nycha buildings above 86th street scattered out ( Douglas from 100 to 104 , wise towers on 90th/91th , dehostos on 93rd , wsur sites on 88th , 92nd and 94th and nycha brownstones from 89 to 93rd )
Interesting map. Do you have it for other boroughs, as well?
The UWS between Lincoln center and 86th is not exclusively upper-class, though. There is a mix of people, even on the more expensive avenues/thoroughfares like West End, Central Park West and Riverside. Middle-class, upper-middle and upper. I would say the majority are upper-middle-class, by NYC standards.
Across the park however, 5th and Park below 80th street: that's a lot closer to being exclusively upper-class, in my opinion.
The area all around port authority and Times Square both have a lot of shelters for people . And there’s some low income Mitchell lamas and one nycha development between 10th and 11th Avenue .
Edit: oops, OP sorry I didn't see your post.
If on top of that there is a NYCHA complex & some Mitchell Lamas, then Llol45519, look no further: you have your answer.

Not exactly but there is people living in poverty that share the building . Hudson view terrace for example is nice looking but it was bad back in the day and still holds its share of lower income residents who are on section 8 . No coincidence the block where it is has the blue section that indicates poverty , it’s just facts here no opinions
Iand yes these are other maps for the other boroughs . I can’t find the map for queens , would have beeen interesting to see but here’s Brooklyn and bronx
New data has lower poverty rates for NYC. The latest stats have overall NYC poverty rate at 17.9%, down from 20.9% as shown in the earlier maps. That's significant.
