New York index 107.9, where 100 is the national average.
The Bronx is NYC's most affordable borough—median homes near $330,000, living costs about 20% below the city average—and healthcare is a major employer, so hospital jobs rarely mean a Manhattan commute. Riverdale and Morris Park give nurses lower-crime bases near Pelham Bay Park and the Botanical Garden; Arthur Avenue still runs as a working Little Italy.
