Note: Race categories (White, Black, Asian, Other) refer to non-Hispanic individuals of that race. Hispanic or Latino is counted separately and may be of any race. NYC’s citywide Hispanic margin of error is not shown because ACS treats the Hispanic-origin total as a controlled estimate for this geography, meaning it is fixed to an official Census population total rather than estimated only from the ACS sample. Non-Hispanic race categories still have published MOEs.

In some circumstances, someone classified as a single parent could have another familial relationship to the child — for instance, a grandmother raising a child alone. Similarly, it is possible that a grandmother is the householder and counted as a single-parent household, while married or cohabiting parents also reside in the home and primarily raise the children.

Median FT Earnings $66,381±$2,432
75th Percentile FT Earnings Over $100,000
90th Percentile FT Earnings Over $100,000
Note: ‘Full-time, year-round’ means usually working 35 or more hours per week for 50 or more weeks in the past 12 months. Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s earnings brackets among workers who reported earnings. If a percentile of earnings is above $100,000, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over $100,000.” That cutoff has not changed since 2010–14, so it is worth less in later releases: $132,506 in 2024 dollars for 2010–14 and $122,699 for 2015–19.

Earnings of Part-Time or Part-Year Workers

Category Bedford-Stuyvesant (East)
Average PT Earnings $35,644±$2,813
10th Percentile PT Earnings $2,809±$739
25th Percentile PT Earnings $9,914±$1,391
Median PT Earnings $23,857±$1,929
75th Percentile PT Earnings $44,171±$3,741
90th Percentile PT Earnings $79,761±$7,172
Note: ‘Part-time or part-year’ includes everyone who did not work full-time, year-round—those who usually worked fewer than 35 hours per week or fewer than 50 weeks during the year. Weeks with paid vacation or paid sick leave count as weeks worked. Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s earnings brackets among workers who reported earnings. If a percentile of earnings is above $100,000, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over $100,000.” That cutoff has not changed since 2010–14, so it is worth less in later releases: $132,506 in 2024 dollars for 2010–14 and $122,699 for 2015–19.

Note: “All other” vacant units combines units that are seasonal, held for migrant workers, rented/sold but not yet occupied, or vacant for other reasons. The two vacancy-rate rows use a different base: the rental vacancy rate counts units actively listed for rent as a share of total rental stock (renter-occupied, rented-not-yet-occupied, and listed for rent), and the owner vacancy rate uses the equivalent owner-unit denominator (owner-occupied, sold but not yet occupied, and listed for sale).

Monthly Homeowner Costs Without a Mortgage

Average Monthly Owner Costs $951±$92
10th Percentile Monthly Owner Costs $426±$195

Median Monthly Owner Costs $1,016±$84
75th Percentile Monthly Owner Costs $1,215±$86
90th Percentile Monthly Owner Costs Over $1,500
Note: Selected monthly owner costs include real estate taxes; fire, hazard, and flood insurance; electricity, gas, water and sewer; other fuels; and, where applicable, homeowners association or condominium fees. For mobile homes, they also include site rent, personal-property taxes, registration, and license fees. Mortgage and other property-backed debt payments are excluded. Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s cost brackets. If a percentile of monthly owner costs is above a certain amount, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over” that amount. That cutoff was $700 in 2010–14 ($928 in 2024 dollars). It has been $1,500 since 2015–19, so it is worth less in later releases: $1,840 in 2024 dollars for 2015–19.
