RENT HIKES OUTPACING WAGE INCREASES ACROSS THE US, BUT ESPECIALLY IN NYC, REPORT
FINDS

WABC

Updated 8 minutes ago
New study finds that rent increased more than pay in NYC, creating a large gap.
NEW YORK (WABC) -- Rent hikes are outpacing wage increases across the US, but
especially in New York City, according to a new report by the real estate site
StreetEasy.

Researchers found rent growth outpaced wages in 44 of the country's 50 biggest
cities.

In New York City, the study found that while wages grew by one-point-two percent
between 2022 and 2023, rent increased by more than eight-and-a-half percent.

That means NYC rents grew more than seven times faster than wages last year, the
largest gap in the country.

The numbers were first crunched by StreetEasy economist Kenny Lee.



He joined the Eyewitness News Mornings at 10 team to dig deeper into the
analysis.
