Here is some demographic information for the bolded community: https://data.burlingtonfreepress.com...k/160-3680599/

I believe that much of the Asian population there is Filipino, but not strictly so.

During the pandemic we moved from Astoria/LIC to a suburb in NJ that's not very diverse to be near family. Now we're looking for a town for the long haul and want to prioritize somewhere with a great school system but also culturally diverse...and a house that has enough of a yard for kiddo to play in/have a garden! Would love a town that has a good food scene too if possible but maybe that's asking a lot.

In Lower Westchester, Larchmont is one of the most popular areas for diversity due to it sharing a school district with Mamaroneck. It really depends on your budget.

If you are looking for Chinese/Asian areas, Scarsdale, Edgemont & Chappaqua are your best best. There are much more diverse Asian areas in NJ and Long Island due to its proximity to Flushing.

Another problem right now is that there almost no housing inventory in a lot of places, especially Scarsdale.
