Racheal, that link is pretty misinformed on NYC nabes.

In NYC: These are for majority population. If a neighborhood is 50-50 I name it for both.

Dominican : Washington Heights, Inwood, West Harlem, West Bronx (Highbridge, Concourse, Morris Heights, Tremont, Fordham, University Heights, Bedford Park, Norwood) Corona, East Elmhurst, Bushwick, East NY.

Puerto Rican : South Bronx (Mott Haven, Melrose, Morrisania, East Tremont, West Farms, Hunts Point, Soundview, Castle Hill, Throggs Neck) East Harlem, Lower East Side, East NY, Bushwick.

Jamaicans : North East Bronx (Wakefield, Williamsbridge), East Flatbush, Jamaica

African Americans : South Bronx (Morrisania, East Tremont), Central Harlem, Jamaica, Far Rockaway, St Albans, Bedford Stuyvesant, Brownsville, East NY.

Columbians : Jackson Heights, East Elmhurst, Elmhurst.

Mexicans : Corona, Sunset Park, West Harlem, East Harlem, Kingsbridge (Bronx).

Whites: Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Midtown, Bensonhurst, South Brooklyn, Staten Island, Riverdale (Bronx), Bayside, Chelsea, Hells Kitchen.

[censusdata]

The Cardinal Valley area of Lexington is mostly Hispanic

In Louisville the area around 7th Street Road and Central Ave is known as Little Sudan (tons of African immigrants, esp Somalis and Sudanese), Okolona (formerly a CDP, now a neighborhood in the new mergered city) is becoming mostly Hispanic, and Southside Dr has a large Vietnamese population (several thousand in one small area) and also lots of Arabs and Russians - this area has lots of great little ethnic grocery stores. The far NW corner of the city as well as areas along 3rd Street around I-264 is Louisville's "Hillbilly Ghetto", an area where most residents are recent transplants from rural Appalachia.

I just submitted that link because it was the only link I could find. There are so many nabes and ethnicities, none of us could possibly sit down and write it all out unless we have a lot of time lol.

You forgot Greeks and Egyptians in Astoria, my nabe
