Each year, the State of New York City’s Housing and Neighborhoods report describes, contextualizes, and provides analysis on a pressing and policy-relevant issue affecting New York City. In 2017, the report looks at how New York City’s housing stock has changed over the past few decades and explores the implications of those changes.
 
Part 1 provides a broad, longitudinal analysis of New York City’s housing and neighborhoods. The chapter is divided into five parts: New Yorkers; land use and the built environment; homeowners and their homes; renters and their homes; and neighborhood services and conditions.
