Which Borough Has The Most Ethnic Enclaves? (Washington Heights: areas, island) - New York City - New York (NY) - City-Data Forum

Ethnic enclaves are areas that are culturally distinguished from other areas. For example, Flatbush is an ethnic enclave of West Indians. Washington Heights is an enclave of Dominicans.

Which borough has the most?

Probably Queens, my borough.

This map can help you visualize ethnic enclaves.

Another vote for Queens.

Queens of course. In some places, you have more than one ethnic enclave, such as Woodside, where there are Filipinos, Mexicans, and Irish.
