I could be wrong about this, but I don't think Asians stereotypically care that much about the extras that CSH offers - the quaint village setting with boutique shops for over-monied housewives, proximity to quiet north shore beaches, etc etc. They probably also don't care about taking care of a large property and there are many large properties in these areas. It is a hike to get to anything from Lloyd Harbor and particularly Lloyd Neck is very isolated.
Agree, but I do note that Syosset borders Laurel Hollow and Syosset has many Asians while CSH school district does not.
Demographics
White 69% Black 1% Asian 26% Hispanic 3% Students receiving free lunches 1% Students receiving reduced-price lunches 1% Limited English proficient students 2%
And Half Hollow School District, much further east than CSH, has more than double the Asian population
Demographics
White 65% Black 12% Asian 12% Hispanic 8% Students receiving free lunches 8% Students receiving reduced-price lunches 4% Limited English proficient students 2%
there's just not enough inventory in Laurel Hallow for there to be any significant turnover in demographics.
As for Dix Hills, it's always been an outlier. Could be because it was developed relatively later than most upper middle class areas, i.e. less established old money types/families.

Also Dix Hills is better suited to commuters due to its proximity to the LIE and Northern State. You'll get people who otherwise would have bought in Nassau purchase in Dix Hills that wouldn't consider CSH.

LH section of CSH cited by me because it BORDERS Syosset. Look at number of households in CSH school district for your comparison to number of households in Syosset School District if you are looking to compare the two. Of course Syosset has more homes...percentage is what I cited in any case.
Commack (another outlier?) has more than double CSH Asian population and is also much further East.

Average Commack home value (Zillow) - $408,800
Average CSH home value (Zillow) - $1,224,600
Average Syosset home value (Zillow) - $572,500
CSH is the outlier. Lloyd Harbor and Laurel Hollow (depending on which "LH" you are quoting) have home values > $1.4M.

percentages often lose relevance for comparisons when the sample size is small.

Yes! I think the price of homes is a huge factor in the lack of diversity in CSH district and precisely what I indicated in my first reply on this thread!

Yes. There is no doubt CSH district is much smaller than Syosset School District... not sure if that is why Syo is 26 percent Asian and the smaller CSH is 3 percent Asian.
(FYI SYO is 2100 9-12, CSH is 700 9-12.)

Agreed. If you have to pay $1-2M for a home in CSH it generally means that you either have sufficient money to not work or work in a field where location isn't an issue, or do the daily commute to Wall St...or I suppose if you have a professional couple where one or both are doctors/lawyers.

as previously stated, less overall inventory means less opportunity for demographic changes. And while that's obviously not THE reason, it's likely one of several reasons the area has stayed mostly homogeneous. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me that an area with very high home prices, limited inventory, and lack of access to major highways and such has not seen significant changes in its demographics over a generation or two.
