Who Are The Unheard Third?
Since 2002, the Community Service Society has sought to better understand the views and experiences of low-income New Yorkers through a groundbreaking public opinion survey, "The Unheard Third." We use the insights gleaned from our annual survey to elevate the concerns of low-income New Yorkers in the public policy debate and advocate on their behalf.
One-third of voting-age citizens in New York City live in low-income households, those earning less than twice the federal poverty level. That’s more than 1.7 million potential voters. Learn more about their views on the race for mayor.
