Bronx County, NY Property Records & Statistics
Bronx County is a renter-dominated, high-cost market with lower incomes than most of New York. Its median rent is $1,392, well above the state figure of $928.25 and the national figure of $840.25. Renter-occupied housing makes up 85.82% of homes, compared with 20.16% statewide and 21.81% nationally, so only a small share of households own the home they live in.
The median home value is $476,200, nearly three times the state value of $169,000 and the national value of $173,750. Property taxes are comparatively light at a median rate of 0.94%, less than half the state's 2.11%, though still above the national rate of 0.74%. High values paired with a low rate mean tax bills can still be sizable in dollar terms.
Median household income is $43,985, far below the state's $70,656.50 and the national $65,108, which makes high rents a particular burden for residents. The unemployment rate is 6.15%, more than double the state rate of 2.91% and the national rate of 2.87%.
Overall, the figures show expensive housing, a very large rental population, lower incomes and higher unemployment.

Assignment and release records track a mortgage after it is recorded. An assignment documents that a mortgage moved from one lender or loan holder to another, and a release shows that the loan was satisfied and the lien cleared from the property.

Buyers, owners and researchers can use them to confirm that earlier mortgages were released, see how loans were sold or transferred, and identify liens that may remain open before a sale or refinance.
