Original, sourced analysis of the South Bronx rental market, built from public data, for renters, reporters, and anyone trying to understand a neighborhood that is changing fast.
About the research program
Plain numbers on a neighborhood in motion
Mott Haven is moving faster than the data most renters see. New construction has arrived in a place whose published rent figures still describe an older, lower-cost housing stock, and the gap between the two is exactly what is hard to read from a listing site. This research program exists to close that gap with original analysis, built entirely from public sources and written to be read, not sold.
Every report here compiles published figures from public datasets and market reports, links each number to its source, and omits anything that could not be verified. The work is neighborhood research first. The Astelle appears in it only as one occasional data point, never as the subject.

The research describes a neighborhood at the front of the city's value shift. The best way to read it is to walk a new residence in person.
