Ten percent of city residents lack health insurance, in large part because so many gig economy jobs don’t provide any coverage. And 1.7 million New Yorkers live in poverty. That’s nearly 20% of all New Yorkers, which is both higher than the national rate and frustratingly persistent. The number rises to 45% when you include people living just above the poverty line. The percent of children growing up in poverty is approximately 30%, 8% higher than the national level. Half of these poor children are growing up in extreme- or high-poverty areas, where crime is nearly three times as high as low-poverty areas. And these locales are becoming increasingly concentrated — for example, in the Bronx, more than half of the neighborhoods are classified as high- or extreme-poverty areas.
