Talking about Ridgewood, "While most of these Puerto Ricans are second and third generation, there is a group of Puerto Rican people that are moving into areas like these, purchasing homes or buying condos, or renting in these areas and further continuing to spread out throughout the city... They are not growing in numbers in areas where they at one point were heavy which is why they may not receive the attention that other incoming groups receive but they are still coming in..."
the statement in bold is why there isn't one location that is concentrated with high income PR's but they do tend to blend in with any crowd and that is why we don't hear about them but once again the population is still the second largest hispanic population in this city behind dominicans...
I could've sworn that I read that Puerto Ricans were still the largest Hispanic group. (On a side note, I remember reading something about Mexicans in Bushwick, and it linked to an article that listed the median income for the different Hispanic groups. I remember it was something like $28,000 for Dominincans, $32,000 for Puerto Ricans, $42,000 for Mexicans, and something like $50,000-$60,000 for Cubans)
I didn't even know there were cubans in bushwick... and to your first statement as far as I know dominicans took over the #1 spot a few years ago and have remained at the top...
It wasn't referring to Cubans in Bushwick, but Cubans in NYC overall. The article about Bushwick linked to an article about the different Hispanic groups (since Bushwick has a large Hispanic population)
Ok, people, disregard my last percentages. Those were out of all hispanics in the area. The following percentages are in comparison to the whole neighborhood. As we see, west of the Bronx River, Dominicans and Puerto Ricans are pretty much even. The difference in the populations lies east of the Bronx river. Dominicans haven't really ventured out there yet, resulting in a Puerto Rican massacre.

That's totally wrong. Where do you get this stuff from? Puerto Ricans are comfortably ahead. The Dominican emigration has slowed to a snail's pace since 2000. What you're seeing now is the spread of Dominicans already in the city, not new ones coming from the island.
You're correct I was misinformed but they are still #1 and #2 in the city as largest hispanic populations and I don't know where you get that dominicans moving in have halted to a snail's pace. maybe where you live but not so much throughout the city...
The indicator is that the dominican immigration has slowed down. Even though the growth has slowed the dominican population in nyc is still growing. I do believe after the next census in 2020 dominicans, will be the largest hispanic group in the city. I hear more and more spanish on the streets of mott haven all the time its either from Dominicans or Mexicans

I remember Puerto Ricans made up 17% of the population in Zip Code 11385 [Ridgewood/Glendale] in 2000. I would imagine the majority of them live in Ridgewood so that would probably make Ridgewood around 25-30% Puerto Rican.
I've been wondering if PRs are still immigrating to NYC. From anon1's post, it seems like there are new Puerto Ricans arrivin. Considering how long PRs have been in NYC I think it's pretty cool they still have a major presence coming in the city. I don't see the PR-NYC connection dying anytime soon.

I actually just did Ridgewood. I took the numbers from Qn district # 5, which includes Maspeth, Glendale, and a few other places. Anyways, in comparison to the entire neighborhood:
13% Puerto Rican/4% Dominican
