Are any of these areas diverse? Most? Least? Not at all? By diverse I mean a mix of people.
Bethpage
Merrick
Bellmore
Wantagh
Babylon
Farmingdale
Thank you in advance!
Bethpage, Merrick, Bellmore and Wantagh are all very homogenous...almost all-white. Same goes for their northern counterparts...ex: north merrick, north bellmore, north wantagh, old bethpage. North bellmore is probably the most diverse out of this bunch but even NB is over 85% white.
Babylon is also very white but it's more diverse than all of the towns above. Neighboring North and West Babylon are even more mixed but are still mostly white....the neighborhood directly bordering wyandanch has always been majority black homeowners.
Farmingdale has a growing population of Hispanics. East Farmingdale is the most diverse out of the three. There is one little neighborhood near the Southern State Pkwy that is majority minority w/ everything there. South Farmingdale is probably the least diverse.

Neighboring North and West Babylon are even more diverse but are still mostly white....the neighborhood directly bordering wyandanch is majority black with a hispanic minority. Hispanics are growing in numbers throughout and Muslims already have an established presence, there are even several mosques in the area.
All three of the Farmingdale's have a growing population of Hispanics. East Farmingdale is the most diverse out of the three. There is one little neighborhood near the Southern State Pkwy that is majority minority with blacks, hispanics and everything. South Farmingdale is probably the least diverse.
