For example, what community do you think has the highest median income? If you said Brooklyn Heights, as most people will, you’re wrong. The leader is Manhattan Beach at $70,600. The Heights is second at $69,200. For perspective, the U. S. average is $43,318, and 18 Brooklyn communities exceed that figure. The following communities make up the top 10 in that category (in order): Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Mill Basin, Marine Park, Gerritsen Beach, Columbia Street, and Boerum Hill. The community with the lowest figure was Red Hook at $16,400: by the time of the 2010 census it certainly will no longer be last.
