I typed that years ago before I had a scanner.
"Status is a composite of four measures: income, percent with college degree, percent full-time year-round workers, percent homeowners," it says. I'm guessing all the Jewish renters in NYC pull down their status, because it's hard to believe the other components would be hard on Jews.

It's a survey of self-identification, and that's what some people called themselves.
By the way, the number of non-Christian/non-Jewish self-identifiers was surprisingly tiny - Islam and Asian religions barely showed up.
