Are these names the same...Manhasset Hills and New Hyde park? I don't really know why there are different classifications...and what are the demographics in those areas?

They may share the same post office but New Hyde Park is an actual incorporated village with a small downtown and railroad station, while Manhasset Hills is not. They are also at least a mile away from each other, Manhasset Hills is separated from New Hyde Park by North New Hyde Park. .
From North to South - Manhasset Hills - North New Hyde Park - New Hyde Park
It may depend on the individual block but from what I have seen, Manhasset Hills houses tend to be newer and with larger properties then the Hyde Parks. It may have something to do with when the area was developed, just a 10 or 20 year difference can mean split level houses versus capes. And some of the New Hyde Park buildings look like they are from the 1800s.
There are also both incorporated and unincorporated parts of NHP. When the Manhasset Hills homes were built the builder wanted it to reflect a more exclusive and higher end neighborhood than Herricks or New Hyde Park. Manhasset Hills does not even share a border with Manhasset.

70% White, 27% Asian, 3% other. From experience, that sounds pretty spot on. The Herricks school district (the school Manhasset Hills would be zoned to) is probably around 35% Asian student population (although I think this fluctuates, I've heard it being as high as ~45-50%).

FYI The Herricks school district is closer to 60% asian now. ( Note there is a difference in the population demo's and the school demo's.) There are still a lot of the post school age families that live there, so that is the difference.

I'm in Herricks SD, asian population is definitely more than 35%, more like 50% or more. I believe part of Manhassat Hills is zoned for Herricks SD. From what I've seen of Manhassat Hills, houses are bigger, lots are bigger so its more spread out.

Yes, it is a noticeably difference between type and age of houses between Manhasset Hills and New Hyde Park/North New Hyde Park.
My guess is that Manhasset Hills was developed a bit later. With newer homes and larger properties, the area looks like it could be further out in Suffolk County. but with the actual convenience of western Nassau County.
In contrast, North New Hyde Park (which separates Manhasset Hills from the actual New Hyde Park) has block after block of 1950s(?) era capes. If you drive along Hillside Avenue you can actually see a "cape belt" from Queens Village/Bellerose, Queens out toward Williston Park in Nassau County.
Anyway l1995, your friend may live in the 11040 Zip Code, New Hyde Park Post Office. That is a big post office that covers not just New Hyde Park and New Hyde Park but also parts of Garden City Park, Manhasset Hills, Herricks, North Hills and Lake Success. It even crosses the border into Queens. People often use the post office zip code to describe the community they live in. But in reality he lives pretty far from the actual village of New Hyde Park which is centered down on Jericho Turnpike.
Speaking of Manhasset Hills, anyone remember the story of a young woman who was murdered in her home there some 30-35 years ago? It was a pretty sensational story but I can't find it on google.
