Here is the map we showcased at the 9/25 FAB festival:
Many neighborhoods in NYC have a blob over them, from light to dark blue, meaning low to high average rent (across all kinds of apartments).

Note that some numbers are skewed because of a high prevalence of public housing (e.g. LES, Williamsburg, East Harlem).
