Both readings in 4.1 and 4.2 are showing the social class in NYC being divided by geography and economic status. Now reading 4.1, the difference in classes is more from the demographics of the individuals and their localized income levels. In 4.2, that reading is heavily focused on structured broader patterns about the wealth shaping the inequality within the boroughs.

The Chambers street station is close to BMCC. The neighborhood shows wealth in the upper middle class because of the high real estate in lower Manhattan . The commercial development and high cost of living in the city aligns with those who reside here so the representation of those in this neighborhood shows the current economic status.

Based on Reading 4.2 the social classes show a pattern in NYC. Segregated neighborhoods like those from wealthy areas throughout the city and more vs the poor lower classes in the boroughs being pushed out towards the outer boroughs because of the economic pressure from the system.
