AMI Eligibility Calculator

Determine your Area Median Income bracket for HPD housing lotteries.

Your AMI Level

Context & Analysis

Access to affordable housing through NYC Housing Connect is strictly governed by Area Median Income (AMI) bands established by HUD. Because these bands include wealthier suburban counties, 100% AMI often significantly exceeds the median income of actual city residents.

Methodology and Assumptions

This model simplifies dynamic variables for the purpose of generalized estimation. We rely on publicly available data from state and city comptroller offices, updated quarterly. Readers should not construe output as definitive financial advice.
