Zillow zip code data here:
https://www.zillow.com/research/data/

Looking at all zip codes 10001-10282 inclusive (43 zip codes). This doesn't quite match my expectations for Manhattan zip codes; some are missing and there are a couple extras. I don't think it will make a big difference. December data isn't listed yet, only November. Comparing Nov 2023 vs Nov 2022 and Dec 2022:

Dec-Nov: Rent in 3 zip codes fell; 40 rose. min/max/avg of -$55/mo, +$242, +$133.

Nov-Nov: 4 fell; 39 rose. -$64, +$150, +$83.

So rent rose from 2022 Nov or Dec to 2023 Nov. (It fell from 2022 Nov to 2022 Dec, by an average of $50.)

It would have to fall from 2023 Nov to 2023 Dec by more than $133 to have this question resolve No.

I don't know exactly what averaging scheme is correct here (by zip code? by population? something else?) but I don't think it matters a whole lot.

Extending closing time until I can look into Zillow zip code data or find an alternative data source.

This should resolve N/A, unless someone is going to bother to look up all the zip codes in Manhattan.

@JimAusman Thanks for this suggestion. I am going to pull the zip codes in Manhattan and see if I can make a conclusion based on that.

I think this should resolve to NO. As @EvanDaniel points out below, the only Zillow average rent data available is the one for NYC in their comment. It shows a December 2023 price below the December 2022 price.

@TimDuffy This was my error. I am going to pull the zip codes from Manhattan and see if it is possible to draw a conclusion based on that data.

@DismalScientist is there a specific data series your going to use? I see this one for NYC but not one specific to Manhattan:

@EvanDaniel Thanks for point this out Evan. I am going to pull the zip codes from Manhattan and see if it is possible to draw a conclusion based on that data.
