Morrisania, Longwood and Hunts Point Home Affordability
In 2007, the median household income in Bronx was $32,4092. Home affordability guidelines suggest that no more than 30% of household income be spent servicing a home loan. For the median Bronx household, this would have meant that a monthly mortgage payment should not have exceeded $810 using the 2007 average mortgage rate of 6.34%3. Combining this with 2007 property sales records, we can calculate that the median income household could have potentially afforded approximately 18.28% of the homes and apartments sold in Morrisania, Longwood and Hunts Point in all of 2007.
