2. The station closest to where I live is 59th Street Columbus Circle. Based on Reading 4.1, I would describe my neighborhood as upper class. Primarily due to its location and the professions of the residents. However, I am not surprised by this because the area has a high cost of living, expensive housing, and many residents with higher incomes and professional careers. According to the articles, it asserts income, education, and occupation are some of the strongest factors connected to social class. I feel that the upper class is a fairly accurate representation of my neighborhood. Even with people from different economic backgrounds living and working in the surrounding neighborhoods.
