NEW YORK CITY:  The New High-Rent Districts

Pricey New York City neighborhoods have seen some of the lowest rent increases since 2010, while recently gentrified areas have had the biggest ones.

Boosted by strong economic growth, rents have increased across New York City since the end of the 2008 financial crisis — but they have done so unequally.

Rents in New York City have increased 31 percent since 2010, according to the StreetEasy Rent Index. Some neighborhoods saw rents rise as little as 15 percent, while rents in others rose as much as 45 percent.

Most expensive neighborhoods have seen lower increases. Rents in neighborhoods with a median household income below New York City’s 2010 median grew 6 percent more than rents in areas with a household income above the citywide median.

Lower and middle-priced neighborhoods have seen the highest increases. Rents in neighborhoods where at least a quarter of residents are families with children grew 5 percent faster than rents in neighborhoods in which less than a quarter of residents have children.
