Reply to comment by Crafty-Cauliflower-6 in ConnCAT Dixwell apartments by buried_lede

The median income is $24 k / $44k household in new haven. And over 20-percent poverty rate. Those numbers are about five years old, pay is probably higher now but not tons

Edit: more recent numbers. As of 2021, $29 k individual, $48k household, median incomes for New Haven per US Census

(And this comment downvoted too. Lol. Don’t talk, I get it. I’m not supposed to talk about this)

After tax? Maybe say what you are thinking about. New haven is expensive and income is low comparatively, so, it’s a really tough situation. Plus it became expensive really quickly, which makes for sticker shock for residents. The vast majority of new haven residents are renters

I mean, after tax is an even higher percentage, obviously. It’s unsustainable. I posted the median income for New Haven- you can do the math. It’s dire. When a 1 br is almost 100- percent of gross median income, lol
