The report, which features data on housing, demographics, and quality of life indicators for each borough and for the city's 59 community districts, also finds that, while the city remains highly segregated by race, more of its neighborhoods are racially integrated today than 20 years ago. In addition, this year's report analyzes mortgage finance trends in New York City, and finds that the volume of lending is increasing, the number of foreclosures has dropped from previous years, and the number of properties entering REO has decreased.
