Perhaps the expansion in housing between 1990 and 2000 was parallel with the increase in education and income levels. Although not the majority, private ownership of housing increased by 32.8%. Rented property still remained the most popular choice, however, escalating by 6.3%.
Since the female population of New York is greater than the male population, there are naturally more female-headed households than male-lead ones. However, the Community District 11 Planning Assessment reported declines in female-led homes by -4.0%, and an increase in male-dominant families by 46.7%. There are more non-family occupancies than anything else overall, with that category continue to grow by 20.3%
East Harlem offers many social services to its inhabitants. This includes special needs housing for the treatment of illnesses or for shelter of the dependent. Notice how there is a greater percentage for “Shelters for Singles” in comparison to “Shelters for Families” (51.3% and 9.4% respectively). This most likely relates to the fact that there are more non-family dominated occupancies than family-led households.
