Hewlett, Woodmere, too, still has a very strong non-Orthodox Jewish population. I don't know too much about the various flavors of Orthodoxy, but my impression is that the orthodox in the five towns are generally modern orthodox, while Far Rockaway is more traditional. Unlike upstate, there really isn't a Hasidic presence. Contrary to what a lot of people seem to think, there are plenty of non Jews here, too.
