New York City Housing and Neighborhood Information System (NYCHANIS)
NYCHANIS, available at www.nychanis.com, is an interactive website that allows users to obtain data and information about New York City neighborhoods and create custom-made tables, charts, graphs, and maps.
NYCHANIS provides local housing organizations, community development groups, and the general public with the data they need to monitor neighborhood conditions, plan programs that will improve their housing and neighborhoods, and secure funding for these programs. NYCHANIS makes data easily accessible to users through a searchable, web-based database. Up-to-date data includes demographic and housing conditions ranging from housing stock and housing affordability to mortgage originations and foreclosures in New York City's neighborhoods.
NYCHANIS stemmed from the Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy’s annual State of New York City’s Housing and Neighborhoods report which includes some of the most up-to-date information available on New York City's housing stock, neighborhood conditions, and residential population.
