No. This is a market-relative affordability filter, not official affordable housing. It does not mean the unit is income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or lottery housing.

Openigloo sets it using the 25th percentile of gross rents for this Brooklyn 1-bedroom scope, then clamps it to a safe floor and ceiling so the filter stays realistic.

The 197 count shows current inventory in scope, while the $3,220 median rent gives a quick sense of typical pricing. Together, they help you gauge how competitive your budget may be for a 1-bedroom in Brooklyn.

Location, building age, amenities, lease terms, and extra monthly costs like utilities and fees can change the real monthly cost a lot, even when the asking rent fits your budget.

Confirm the total move-in cost, lease length, whether pets are allowed if that matters, and any building-specific rules or fees. A lower asking rent can still come with higher upfront costs.
