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.

Note: These are American Community Survey 2020–2024 5-year estimates, not 2020 decennial Census counts. The ACS surveys a sample of households over five years, so its population estimate and margin of error can differ from the Census’s April 1, 2020 full count; population change since 2020 and geographic aggregation at split Census geographies can also contribute.

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.

90th Percentile Household Income	Over $200,000
Note: Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s household income brackets. If a percentile of household income is above $200,000, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over $200,000.” That cutoff has not changed since 2010–14, so it is worth less in later releases: $265,012 in 2024 dollars for 2010–14 and $245,398 for 2015–19.

Earnings of Full-Time, Year-Round Workers

Median FT Earnings	$53,281±$1,861
75th Percentile FT Earnings	$91,979±$4,649
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	Jackson Heights
Average PT Earnings	$32,598±$3,717
10th Percentile PT Earnings	$3,142±$799
25th Percentile PT Earnings	$10,126±$1,588
Median PT Earnings	$20,926±$1,562
75th Percentile PT Earnings	$39,543±$5,011
90th Percentile PT Earnings	$74,598±$13,763
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.

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).

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).

Note: Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s monthly housing cost brackets. If a percentile of monthly housing costs is above a certain amount, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over” that amount. That cutoff was $2,000 in 2010–14 ($2,650 in 2024 dollars). It has been $3,000 since 2015–19, so it is worth less in later releases: $3,681 in 2024 dollars for 2015–19.

Median Rent Plus Utilities	$1,854±$53
75th Percentile Rent Plus Utilities	$2,291±$41
90th Percentile Rent Plus Utilities	$2,665±$107
Note: Rent is what renters pay their landlord; Rent plus Utilities adds the estimated cost of utilities renters pay separately. Rent plus Utilities is the better comparison, since some units include utilities in the rent and others bill them separately. Both reflect what current renters pay, not asking rents. Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s rent brackets and describe units that pay cash rent. If a percentile of rent is above a certain amount, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over” that amount. That cutoff was $2,000 in 2010–14 ($2,650 in 2024 dollars). It has been $3,500 since 2015–19, so it is worth less in later releases: $4,294 in 2024 dollars for 2015–19.

Note: Describes households receiving federal rental assistance in this neighborhood. Tenant-paid rent is the household’s own share of the rent after the subsidy; monthly government spending is what HUD pays toward that household’s housing. Area median income is calculated by HUD for the surrounding metropolitan area, not for this neighborhood. The “With Children” measure is available only for 2020–2024; it is shown as blank for 2010–2014 and 2015–2019 in historical views. In Count view, household counts are estimated by applying each share to the number of HUD-assisted households in this neighborhood.
