Family neighborhoods where no single group is a majority in New York City

Residential neighborhoods with more children than most, where no one of five census groups makes up half the residents.

How we chose these

  • A residential neighborhood.
  • No census group makes up 50% or more of residents. The five groups: Hispanic or Latino of any race, and non-Hispanic White, Black, Asian and all others (American Community Survey 2018–2022, table B03002).
  • A share of residents under 18 at or above the median of residential neighborhoods.
