1. Do you notice any similarities in the way social class is discussed in readings 4.1 and 4.2? Do you notice any differences in the way these two readings DIFFERENTIATE between social classes?

In reading 4.1 it talked about identifying social classes by income and how to do it. In 4.2 it showed us where each communities are located and what the neighborhoods incomes were.

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?

In my neighborhood Lower class lives here at a household income of $17,614. Honestly I am not surprised because I myself live in a low income building and live around agencies that help people. I feel like it’s not 100 percent accurate because the statistics are from 2011 and we are in 2022 so income levels can change.

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

Yes I noticed that on most of the train lines in Brooklyn and The Bronx they were either middle class or lower class and almost all Manhattan locations classes were in the middle and upper class ranging from 60-150k while bronx and Manhattan ranged from 15k-40k max.
