Background
[edit ]According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there were 8,488,066 housing units in New York in 2020.[2] There were an estimated 91,271 homeless individuals in New York in 2020, according to the Annual Homeless Assessment Report.[3]
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development administers programs that provide housing and community development assistance in the United States.[4] Adequate housing is recognized as human right in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and in the 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.[5]
Housing shortage
[edit ]There is a shortage of housing in New York City. There are not enough homes for everyone who wants to live there to find a place to rent or buy. This has drove rent prices in New York City to be the highest in the United States as of 2022.[6]
Prices
[edit ]As of 2025[update] , housing prices in the NYC area are so high that most first-time home buyers, even if they are relatively well paid, can only afford to buy a home if their parents can give them large sums of money.[7] A small studio apartment typically sells for more than US500,000ドル.[7] The Urban Institute estimates that only 40% of all NYC residents, and only 28% of families with children, are able to support themselves financially, due in large part to the high cost of housing.[7]
In 2024, half of home buyers in Manhattan paid cash for their homes.[7]
