2. Pick the station closest to where you live. Using the concepts from Reading 4.1, what social class tends to live in your neighborhood? Are you surprised (or not) by the answer? Do you feel it is an accurate representation of the people living in your neighborhood?

The social class of the nearest station to me is middle class or Upper-middle class. I was very surprised, I don’t know about my neighborhood, but my family is closer to the lower class. 

3. Based on Reading 4.2, do you notice a general pattern about social classes in NYC?

Manhattan always has the highest income, people with more money willing to live in Manhattan.
