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.

Note: Poverty rates cover only the population for whom the Census Bureau determines poverty status. This excludes people in institutional group quarters (prisons, nursing homes, and mental hospitals), people in college dormitories, people in military barracks, and unrelated individuals under age 15. That last group is excluded because the standard poverty framework measures income at the family or unrelated-individual level — a child under 15 who is unrelated to the householder cannot be assigned to a family unit and is too young to be treated as an independent economic unit, so poverty status is not determined for them. See more details about how poverty is defined and measured.

Rents and Utilities
Median Rent $1,252 ±$71
Median Rent + Utilities $1,329 ±$83
Note: Medians are approximated via unit-level averages. See methodology page for more details. ACS-measured contract rent is often lower than estimates from real estate services like Zillow. First, current tenants typically pay less than the asking rent for vacant units—real estate services only capture the latter. Second, the ACS rent question asks what the occupant personally pays: someone splitting a unit with a roommate reports only their share, and households receiving rental assistance report only their out-of-pocket portion.
