Description: The objective of this study is to better understand how New York City neighborhoodlevel housing markets, as represented by housing prices, rent burden, median rents and crowding, react to the city's changing demography. The study assumes that the neighborhood concept is an important framework that allows housing policy-makers to institute a program. As a first step, we provide the descriptive overview of overall citywide and borough-level changes in demographics and housing between the two Census years. Next, in order to explore those changes at neighborhood-specific level, we develop a neighborhood typology that reflects the complex attributes of New York City neighborhoods. In order to create a neighborhood typology for New York City, cluster analysis techniques were used to identify clusters of census tracts with similar demographic and housing characteristics.
