New York's population of 8,5 million is somewhere between Moscow and St. Petersburg. Median annual family income before taxes is $61 thousand; in the Bronx, where poor New Yorkers live, it is $39 thousand, while in Manhattan it is $85 thousand.
The average monthly salary in the Big Apple after paying taxes for half of the families is up to $ 3. Thus, if all family members work, each of them receives about $ 800 thousand.
Moreover, renting an apartment for a family is about the same.
“The poor people are forced to spend more than half of their family budget on an apartment,” the author noted. “Even residents of wealthy Manhattan, with their average household income of $5, are having a tough time.”
A New Yorker spends about 41 minutes to get to work.
“That is, people most likely live in the same area where they work, and the situation of “living in cheap outskirts and working in a prestigious place” is atypical,” the author explained.
