The superlative demographics of NYC’s five boroughs have been freshly mapped.
A free, interactive online tool managed by the Department of City Planning has been updated with 2020 Census data — making it easy to uncover a wealth of new details about your own neighborhood and anywhere else in the Big Apple.
“The DCP is committed to making the data we collect transparent, and through these updates to Population FactFinder, we’re putting even more information at people’s fingertips,” agency honcho Dan Garodnick said in a press release this week.
“It’s another example of how we’re celebrating the melting pot that makes New York New York.”
Among the highlights from the newly refreshed site — South Williamsburg has the youngest population in all the Big Apple, with a median age of 19.5 years old, while Queens’ Bay Terrace-Clearview nabe has the oldest population, with an average resident age of 51, Gothamist reported.
Manhattan’s Yorkville is the most densely packed area in New York, while Staten Island’s Tottenville-Charleston area the least.
Tribeca has the highest median household income ($200,000) in the city, and Park Slope has the highest ($192,000) in Brooklyn.
South Ozone Park has the largest number of people who identify as Guyanese, while Jamaica has the largest Bangladeshi population.
Other takeaways include the fact that a quarter of Staten Island’s population identify as Italian, the second highest amount in the nation, while Washington Heights is home to the largest Dominican population in the city.
In addition to the FactFinder tool, DCP has also added the 2020 Census info to a similarly formatted interactive website, Population MapViewer, allowing the public to compare data using maps and ranked charts.
