You dont get what I'm saying... I'm not talking about the rampid white flight that occured in all neighborhoods between the 50s and 70s... I'm talking about areas that remained as they were throughout and only had minimal changes until the late 90s and early 2000s in terms of white folks leaving these areas and that area of Cypress Hills/Woodhaven is part of it... Just like Ozone Park was always a mixed but majority working class white area until recently...
We lived on Pitkin between Jerome and Barbey in East NY but when we visited family that lived near Jamaica avenue even in the late 90s there was still a number of second generation italians there and other ethnic whites that had been there for years. The area now is nowhere near the white population of just 10 years ago... So the fact that you may see a white hipster or two doesn't change the fact that there's less white people there now than there was before... And once you pass that area the white population becomes almost non-existant... I do see some asians (mainly people from areas like Bangladesh/Pakistan/Nepal/guyana) moving in though...
You don't pay much attention to census data do you?
Whites are down 3 percent and blacks also declined 5 percent between 2000-2010. Asians are taking over and Hispanics are still growing despite declines in the Puerto Rican population.

That sums it all up! A decline in native whites new yorkers, African Americans and ricans. The old guard is either fleeing or in exodus to greener pastures.
