Long-established ethnic populations — including Italians, Irish Americans, African Americans and Puerto Ricans — are shrinking, while other groups like Dominicans, African immigrants and South Asians are fueling growth.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.New York City grew more ethnically diverse and less racially segregated between 2010 and 2020, according to a new CUNYLong-established ethnic groups that have historically defined New York City’s political and cultural landscape are shrinking, according to the findings. That includes Italian, Irish, and Eastern European immigrants; African Americans; Afro Caribbeans and Puerto Ricans.
Immigration has restored the city, revitalized it in many different ways. And it’s introduced new immigrant-origin ethnic groups within all of the basic racial categories that we typically use. So the nature of what it means to be white or Black or Latino or Asian has been changing quite substantially.Immigration has kept the city from shrinking in recent decades, said John Mollenkopf, director of the CUNY Graduate Center’s Center for Urban Research and one of the authors of the report.
The report focuses on “communities of interest,” an inexact term that is, nonetheless, typically relevant in the creation of new voting maps. The city charter says electoral district lines should keep intact “communities with established ties of common interest and association,” which could be historical, racial, economic, ethnic, religious or something else. The state’s 2014 redistricting reforms also require an independent commission to consider communities of interest.
“New groups are emerging and new and old groups are intermixed with each other in new patterns,” says the report’s conclusion. “It will thus be increasingly difficult to draw boundaries around distinct, more or less uniform groups.”Across the board, the city’s racial groups have grown more ethnically diverse, researchers found. For example, within the city’s rapidly growing Asian population, which is predominantly Chinese, some of the largest increases were among South Asians.
For any given racial group, some of the biggest decreases occurred in neighborhoods where they once dominated the population. That includes historically majority Black neighborhoods like Harlem, Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, and Flatbush, and Jamaica in southeast Queens; Latino neighborhoods like Washington Heights, Bushwick, and Sunset Park; white neighborhoods like Dyker Heights in southwest Brooklyn, Forest Hills in central Queens, and Pelham Bay in the Bronx; and Chinatown in Manhattan.
