Immigration Today - Flocking to the Bronx
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the Lower East Side was a mecca for immigrants. Today, that role is served by areas like Queens and, more recently, the Bronx, a borough once dominated by Puerto Ricans and African Americans.
We've pulled a couple of interesting statistics from the New York Daily News on the Bronx's changing demographics:
31% of the borough's 1.4 million residents were born overseas
55% of residents speak a language other than English at home
Hispanics and Latinos make up 51% of the borough's population
8,749 Albanians live in the Bronx
The West Indian (primarily Jamaican) population has doubled since 1990
The number of Italian and Irish immigrants has decreased over the last decade
