Which town has the highest Italian population? (White Plains, Rye: to live, ferry)

[ShouldHaveLeft914]

I have a friend looking for a house.
She is Italian and wants to live among fellow Italians.
She needs a sense of community and tradition.
Which town has the highest Italian population?
Is Yorktown her best bet, or did I miss one?

No offense, but this is another attempt to stereotype Italian-Americans. Your "friend" should make her own posts.

You missed Eastchester. They probably rank very high. Still, anywhere 20 miles from NYC will give plenty of chances to connect with other Italians.

[ShouldHaveLeft914]

Good call! The only place that has more Italians than Yorktown is Eastchester at 37%!
I will tell my friend to stick with Yorktown and Eastchester.

I'd say to check out wherever there's an Order of the Sons of Italy lodge. That's probably the most concentrated way of finding like-minded community and tradition. Looks like there's one in White Plains; not sure if there are others.

Tel her to try Silver Lake in Harrison. I bet you a big chunk of Harrison's 24% is consolidated in this small area.

Tell her to go back to Italy. Problem solved!

[DickCheney2016]

Italian Americans have practically nothing in common with people from Italy.

Thornwood has more Italians than Pleasantville but both are in Mt. Pleasant.
