NYC Renaissance Brings Kids to City

Posted by Carol Coletta on December 12, 2008

NYT notes the demographic changes brought on by NYC's renaissance. 

Since 2000, the number of young children living in parts of Lower Manhattan has nearly doubled. The poverty rate declined in all but one New York City neighborhood. A majority of Bronx residents are Hispanic.

And the number of white people living in Harlem more than tripled, helping to drive up median household income there by nearly 20 percent — the fourth-highest jump in the city.
