Like Bedford Park, South Bronx, our number 4 on the list of worst, poorest, and most dangerous neighborhoods in New York City, has its many amenities scattered around the entire neighborhood. Yes, the cost of living and rent rates are low, but when you see their median household income that is only at $26,216, those digits still look expensive. Amenities might be considered to be an advantage in the area, but because of how high commodities can be, there might not be so many opportunities to really enjoy them.
