Thanks to the 1,182 readers who took the time to fill out our most recent reader survey. As promised, we’ve got some results to share with you. First of all, 87% of respondents live in Brooklyn, with the most represented neighborhoods being Park Slope, Clinton Hill, Carroll Gardens, Bed Stuy, Fort Greene and Brooklyn Heights, in that order. Just over 95% of respondents have at least a college degree, with about half of those also having a graduate degree of some kind. Given the education data, it’s not hugely surprising that about 70% of respondents said they earn $100,000 or more a year. Two-thirds of survey takers also own their own place: Of those, 58% own a house, 24% a co-op and 18% a condo. More than half of those currently renting plan to buy within the next two years. And we’re a conservative bunch: 70% have locked in a fixed rate mortgage. When it comes to maintenance and repairs, over 60% of homeowners drop at least $2,500 a year. And we were happy to see this last stat: 36% of people who took the time to respond said they visit the site anywhere from several times a day to obsessively.
IP addresses are never blocked on Brownstoner. God forbid number of posts are ever reduced in any way for any reason. Bad for selling ads.
Brownstoner, is there any way to block the IP address of the sick dude who keeps posting the video?
People often exaggerate a tad about income, on surveys, btw.
I hope there are OPEN HOUSE PICS today!! It’s not looking good!
I live in the Hill/Ft. Green and know the demographic. Like it a lot.
And I haven’t seen any expressions of a bad attitude toward people who make less than 110K, except from your inevitable occasional troublemakers.
Now, you people who make under 90 and who don’t have a boat or a lake house, I have no use for you. 🙂
If you only use cookies to prevent multiple anything by same user, that is not much good for anyone that knows the simple stuff like how to clear their cookies and cache.
The demographics partially explain the attitudes here toward people who don’t earn 110K or more.
Yep, it’s our own damn fault – shame on us for getting an education, but then using it for silly little things like being a teacher, working for a non-prof or being artistic.
Whiners, cry babies, no one is ever happy.
Who said anything about forcing anyone to use the site??!?!?
A few people are saying that they are curious about statistics of the racial and ethnic makeup of site visitors. Why is that such a crazy thing?!
