3,400$ a month for rent in NYC? I LIVE here and I can tell you at LEAST 80 percent of the people in this city don't pay that much. That's ridiculous.

So many times these people that write the articles and sponsor the surveys forget to factor in that in just about any city most dwellings are in an average price range for that city, and that most residents of these cities live in an average priced home. Of course each city will have it's poorer citizens and rich citizens, but like Andi there said a high percentage are paying lower than the top price. About 80% are middle class, with the other 20% being divided between the top and bottom earners.
