If you're a native New Yorker-- or you've lived here for longer than about ten years (which kind of makes you an honorary native New Yorker at this point)-- then you are probably more than aware of how much your rent has consistently risen over the last decade.

So unless you've literally been living underneath a rock, cardboard box, or newspaper for the last ten years, you more or less know what's going on in the New York City property market. 

If you're some type of real estate analyst or agent, you're probably fully aware of how much square footage costs throughout the city. Most of us are not. 

We're sure you've done your fair share of neighborhood hopping and subletting, but regardless, you need to see this map.

Freshly pressed from the digital cartographers at PropertyShark, this new graphic illustrates the rise of the median cost of square footage across the city... minus Staten Island.

The data doesn't look good.

The darker the shade of green, the closer to a 100% increase in property costs in that neighborhood. 

Unless we're talking dark green. Than it's 100% and above. So if you live in a dark green area, your rent would have been half of what you pay now, as of ten years ago. 

Sweet. Thanks, New York City.
