In a city where roughly two out of three residents lease their homes, record-high rents have long bogged down the working class. But these days, more higher earners are feeling the squeeze: At least 65,000 households making between $100,000 and $300,000 a year pay a third or more of their gross income to landlords, according to NYC Housing and Vacancy Survey estimates. That’s tens of thousands more than just four years ago.
