PA- Allentown, Lancaster, York, Harrisburg (same reason as Rochester NY), Philadephia (especially North Philly)
Honorable mentions go to Lawrence (MA), New Haven (CT), White Plains (NY), Jersey City (NJ), Atlantic City (NJ), Reading (PA), Chester (PA), Coatesville (PA). Also, you can include a neighborhood or 2 in Buffalo, Cleveland, and Chicago each.
When you take out the urban factor, you can also include Florida areas like parts of Orlando and Miami, and to a lesser extant parts of Tampa and Jacksonville, can be seen as demographically similar to the Bronx. Especially areas like Poinciana and Pine Hills in the Orlando area, or an area like North Miami.
Waterbury CT, New Bedford MA, Providence RI Fall River MA, Lynn MA, New Britain CT Meriden CT Chicago IL Cleveland Columbus OH Cincinnati OH
I wrote that the white population of the Bronx is heavily Jewish (which it is). It's probably one of the most Jewish white populations of any county in the U.S. (perhaps the highest).
That's why it's demographically like Miami. Both have small white populations by %, but the % of Jewish within white population is huge.
Yes, 60 years ago, prior to suburbanization, the Bronx was very Jewish overall. But today the Bronx is mostly Carribean Hispanic (again, like Miami), with a sizable black Carribean population (again, like Miami).
Relative to the rest of urban America, no. The Bronx does not have a high % of African Americans or non-Carribean Hispanics compared to other places.
Well Mexicans have a large presence and there are quite a few Ecuadorians and Hondurans as well. Non-Caribbean Hispanics make up at least 10% of the borough's population
University Garden neighborhood of Downtown San Jose!!!! Similar vibe, people and foods. lots of mid rises and some high rises in that part of downtown.

And that is a low % compared to other major urban centers, hence my point.
Mexicans and Ecuadorians are very fast growing populations in the Bronx, but I doubt the Bronx will resemble LA, Houston or Dallas in Hispanic demographic mix anytime soon.

This is true but it’s funny because outside of NYC people seem to assume that The South Bronx is a giant African American ghetto but I think that has to do with hip hop starting there.
