Darker shades of red indicate lower affordability, while the few <strong>green areas indicate that median asking rents are within reach<\/strong> for the neighborhood&#8217;s median household income.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to keep in mind that these are median asking rents and not necessarily what people living there are actually paying. <strong>Neighborhood median rent means that half of apartments rent for less than this amount and half are above.\u00a0<\/strong>RentHop didn\u2019t have sufficient data in the neighborhoods that are grayed out.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The 40x Rule \u2013 30% of Income<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You may have heard you shouldn\u2019t spend more than 30% of your income on rent. The way the math works out, your household\u2019s yearly income should be 40 times the monthly rent to afford an apartment and many landlords won\u2019t accept anyone who doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>For example: <strong>for NYC as a whole, the median two-bedroom rent was $3,500<\/strong>\u00a0(for the quarter ending June 30, 2017) which would require household income of $140,000 to secure and comfortably afford. The median income for the city stands at $55,752 according to the most recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www1.nyc.gov\/site\/planning\/data-maps\/nyc-population\/american-community-survey.page\">census data<\/a>, putting the median two-bedroom far out of reach, since spending 75.3% of your income on rent isn&#8217;t a good idea.<\/p>\n<p>There are exceptions to the rule: If you have vast savings or a guarantor whom makes 80 times the rent, a landlord is likely to let you slide without meeting the income requirements. It\u2019s also not unheard of for a landlord to request last month\u2019s rent in addition to the first month and security deposit for those with below average credit \/ income. Our \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/guides\/nyc\/how-much-rent-can-i-afford-nyc\">how much can I afford<\/a>\u201d guide can give you a little more info on these rules and some ways to overcome them.<\/p>\n<h2>These Neighborhoods Are NYC&#8217;s Least Affordable<\/h2>\n<p>The neighborhood tabulation area of <strong>Queensbridge-Ravenswood-Long Island City topped the list of unaffordable neighborhoods.<\/strong> Median rent for a two-bedroom is <strong>$3,300<\/strong> while median household income is just <strong>$28,378<\/strong>. Rent prices soar higher as the real estate boom continues to change the face of the area while putting new apartments far out of reach of the current households. <strong>Spending 139.5% of your income on rent is not just absurd, it&#8217;s mathematically impossible.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>In a close second was Williamsburg<\/strong> (not the hipster haven that&#8217;s colloquially called Williamsburg which the city still calls &#8216;North Side-South Side&#8217;) but the area a bit south of there known for being home to much of the city&#8217;s Hasidic population. Here, the <strong>$2,499 two-bedroom median rent<\/strong>\u00a0would require\u00a0<strong>139.5% of the $21,502<\/strong> median household income to be spent on rent.<\/p>\n<p>The neighborhood with the third largest income-housing cost gap was <strong>Lower East Side<\/strong>,\u00a0where the median household would need to spend <strong>134%<\/strong> of the\u00a0<strong>$31,273<\/strong>\u00a0neighborhood income for two-bedroom asking rent of\u00a0<strong>$3,495.\u00a0<\/strong>LES is known for its night life and rough-and-tumble past, but the wealth gap and expensive apartments are the true story here.<\/p>\n<p>Mott Haven-Port Morris in the Bronx (130% of area income needed for the $2,200 2br-rent), and <strong>East Harlem North (115%)<\/strong> round out the top 5 least affordable, while <strong>many areas of the Bronx make the top 10<\/strong>.
