Brooklyn’s richest and poorest nabes

Two of the 10 richest neighborhoods in New York City are in Brooklyn — up from zero in 2000, according to a new analysis.

But as some Brooklyn neighborhoods have become wealthier, others are growing poorer.

In 2000, four of the 10 lowest-income areas were in Brooklyn — and by 2011 there were five.

Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo cracked the list of the most affluent areas, based on 2011 Census-tract data analyzed by the city’s Independent Budget Office.

The other eight wealthiest neighborhoods are in Manhattan, according to the analysis released Tuesday.

Both saw median household incomes spike 45 percent from 2000 to 2011, according to the data.

The median income in Brooklyn Heights grew to $166,346, while Dumbo’s reached $167,737.

They are close behind Battery Park City in Manhattan, which came in at $188,144 to crack the list for the first time.

Dottie Herman, president of the real-estate firm Douglas Elliman, credits developers for creating the new hot spots of outer-borough wealth.

“Brooklyn developers had vision and there are some beautiful views of Manhattan from Brooklyn,” she said.

“People used to move to Brooklyn because they couldn’t afford Manhattan. Now people say they want to live in Brooklyn. It still has a neighborhood feeling. It’s young and hip, almost like what downtown [Manhattan] used to be like,” she said.

Six of the 10 Census tracts on the latest list were on the Upper East Side, which had a median household income of $247, 167.

Tribeca, which earned a median income of $205,192, came in second.

Coney Island and Brownsville made the list of the poorest neighborhoods, with a meager median household income of $9,500.
