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]
I do not understand why some of you would not be intersted in Cypress Hills. It is prime realestate. Everything is nearby. The highway and the train which is about 20 mins fromNYC. I would rather venture here than in Bushwick. Bushwick is a little to grimy for me. At least Cypress Hills stillhas tree lined streets. Bushwock only has streets fulll of rats and garbage. I have lived in a loft in Bushwick for one year and had to get out. Come on they had a dead dog in the middle of the street rotten over the summer. Just imagine the stench. I explored Cypress hIlls and I amhooked. It still needs help with amenities and things along those lines but I rather here than the Bush. And the prices of the houses are reasonable. Eventhough the houses are older they are better built then the modern ones (Fedders & otheres). ANd I was not out priced like in willamsburg which is ridiculous. I say explore the area. I would say stay before atlantic ave it is better. Arlington ave, highland blvd, Jamaica ave and I like this little dead end block called Schenck Court off of Jamaica ave it has these brownstone like homes that are realy nice and worth the $$.
Whoa…Ditmas isn’t even on the top 10. Maybe I’m just talking to myself.
