Ok yes, but compared to Manhattan and Queens we fall short. Maybe thats what the thread was started to convey.
Yea, and also in comparison to Hudson County in New Jersey and Brooklyn. However, that's all highly localized and even in the context of the counties of the Tri-State Area, the Bronx is pretty diverse. Against the rest of the US and the world, the Bronx is extremely diverse on this sort of county level.
And no, that's not a judgment call on whether diverse is inherently good and bad in case someone wants to run on that tangent.
Kingsbridge is very small and not that diverse, especially when the population is only around 10,000 or so. If Kingsbridge Heights is added, then you could argue that it is diverse, but those teo areas are not the same neighborhood.
Kingsbridge around the 1 train station looks pretty diverse
the bronx is diverse.......its not diverse the way london and toronto are diverse (no american city is) but its alot more mixed in compared to most other cities in the us where youre either white black or mexican, each of which live in their side of town....
How is NYC as a whole not as diverse as Toronto or London?
Not a internet thug. Just annoyed at your boosting of the unidsputed highest crime neighborhood in the Bronx. Mott haven is on the same boat as the rest of the south/west Bronx. Kingsbridge has everything Mott Haven has plus a large amount of white people.
The predominance of Dominicans in the west Bronx gets cancelled out by the predominance of Puerto Ricans in the southern Bronx.
Most haven isn't all that Puerto Rican these days. I hear more bachata, and merengue than I do salsa, or even hip hop these days.
NYC has a lot of everybody somewhat. So this is kind of an overstatement.
But what does Toronto and London have that NYC doesn't?
My point is that every ethnic group represented in Toronto and London is represented in NYC, plus NYC has many Latinos which Toronto and London do not.
I have to imagine they're still the largest Hispanic group there
Puerto Rican>Dominican>Mexican is probably how it goes
Its the old that are dying out. Middle age types moving to Florida, young ones finish college and move out, than poor types looking move to PA. I remember a couple of years back watching Bronx net. They said by the end of this decade. Bronx hispanic population will be Dominican dominated, and that will hit Bronx politicians hard which are mostly Puerto Rican based.
