Brownstoner Reader Survey Results
As promised, we’ve got the results of the reader survey that ran from last Friday morning through Monday afternoon.

As promised, we’ve got the results of the reader survey that ran from last Friday morning through Monday afternoon. Based on the 882 responses (out of the 100,000 or so people who visit the site every month), 52 percent of readers are male and 48 percent are female (with at least one abstension). Exactly half are in their Thirties, two-thirds have household incomes in excess of $100,000 and more than 95 percent have a college degree or higher (we expect to see fewer typos going forward!). In terms of geography, 85 percent of readers live in Brooklyn, with the greatest numbers hailing from Park Slope, Clinton Hill and Carroll Gardens, in that order. Of the two-thirds of respondents who own their own home, 57 percent own a house, 26 percent own a co-op and 17 percent own a condo. It’s also a conservative bunch: 71 percent have a fixed-rate mortgage, 19 percent a variable and 10 percent are debt-free. Lastly, more than 60 percent of renters plan to buy a place within the next two years (less than 4 percent plan on never owning). Anything surprising to you in those numbers?
Time for the Brownstoner Readership Survey [Brownstoner]
From what I can tell, all the 20 somethings can’t save deposit money becase they’re hanging out at coffee shops with their vast array of electonic appliances (computers, ipods, cell phone etc) or going out for dinner and drinking $10 “martinis” (the ones that have some sort of alco-fruit concoction and no gin”).
8:16 jealousy is a VERY ugly thing.
we have all seen it in its truest form with your post.
funny how you were posting on brownstoner at 8:16pm yet made a comment about someone ELSE being alone on valentines’s day.
and then you posted again at almost 2am. looks like you were the one alone, my friend.
1:52 who are you to decide what is right for someone in their 20’s or 30’s. by the sound of your post/s you are probably in your mid 40’s, own no property at all and haven’t gotten laid since reagan was president. your comments are completely heartless.
most people in this city never own anything. to own a studio at ANY age in nyc is an expensive proposition. and there are people who don’t feel the need to shack up in their 20’s. this isn’t west virginia.
Studios are great when you are in your ’20s. People in their ’30s should really be looking into big apartments unless you are positive you are not hooking up.
by asking that, you fit the bill as well as any…
How many people are jerks who are on brownstoner? Did the survey reveal that?
Anonymous 8:16p,
That was totally cold. Have fun revelling in that.
As for that person finding a studio, he/she has a chip in the game, and you do not.
Have fun revelling in that, too.
“in the last 3 months have bought and moved into a perfect (for me) studio apartment in the north slope”
How do you raise a family in a studio apartment?
Happy Valentines Day single person. Most feel great to be alone today.
I wonder how many of those Clinton Hill responders actually live in Bed-Stuy.
