10 Poorest Neighbourhoods in New York City
10. East Harlem, Manhattan
Average household median income: $38,845
While East Harlem has long had the reputation of being among the poorest neighborhoods in New York City, its place at the bottom of our list shows that the area is onto some major improvements. The household median income is below average, and the cost of living index is 11 percent higher than the average, but some of this is due to it being in New York where it is intrinsically more expensive to live.
