Post by: Jake on November 24, 2005, 04:26:02 PM Racially, I'd suppose we were about 99% White as a neighborhood. Ethnically, I'd imagine we are very mixed as most of the growth of our town can be attributed to the construction of a large factory near us back in the 70s and 80s. Just to guess, I'd say we have alot of Eastern Europeans and a good bit of Irish and English people. Very few Italians.

Post by: ag on May 23, 2006, 09:50:43 PM Well, I live in Mexico City, so you'd think it should be nearly 100% Hispanic, though, obviously, Mexican census doesn't collect such data. In fact, by the US definition of the term it, probably, is: almost all people here could claim to be Mexican. On the other hand, this has nothing to do w/ race: the most common ancestry, at least among the old-timers here is, probably, German (some local business names are Kafe Klatsch, Pateleria la Vienesa, Unser Kluv bar, etc.). So, how should we count that?
Title: Re: What is the ethnic composition of the neighborhood in which you live? Post by: they don't love you like i love you on May 23, 2006, 09:57:22 PM Since about a quarter of the people here aren't even citizens (and thus won't be counted in any census) and a good chunk probably aren't counted as residents here, any such "official" figure would be worthless and rather off. But I'd guess something like this:
80% White 5% African-American* 5% Somali 5% Pakistani 3% Asian 2% Hispanic**/Other *I'm not using this as some sort of PC term, but rather to distinguish them from Somalis, as the two groups are quite different and typically don't associate with each other. **Note that both I and the census consider Hispanics to be white. The 80% figure should read White Non-Hispanic, like on City Data. Title: Re: What is the ethnic composition of the neighborhood in which you live?

There is a large Chaldean community situated in an area bounded by 15 and 17 Mile Roads, between Dequindre and Mound Roads, however the area also includes a large number of ethnic Arabs.

Post by: muon2 on May 23, 2006, 11:15:56 PM Most posts seem to quote their city statistics which are really too broad to count as a neighborhood. Better is to use the census tract with usually a few thousand people. Here's mine from the 2000 census.
Population: about 7000. Hispanic or Latino: 53 % (29% born in Mexico). Black and Asian: 1 % each. Title: Re: What is the ethnic composition of the neighborhood in which you live? Post by: Smash255 on May 24, 2006, 02:43:50 AM Since I'm bored, some of the communities around me (all are within about 3.5 miles, in order from closest to furthest) Races in East Massapequa: * White Non-Hispanic (76.7%) * Black (12.3%) * Hispanic (7.5%) * Other race (2.5%) * Two or more races (1.9%) * Chinese (0.8%) * Asian Indian (0.7%) (Total can be greater than 100% because Hispanics could be counted in other races) Ancestries: Italian (29.6%), Irish (23.4%), German (16.3%), West Indian (5.7%), Polish (5.0%), English (3.7%). Hmm all this time I thought I was in Massapequa Park zipcode wise, but considered Massapequa. I'm still in the Mass PK zipcode, but considered East Massapeua instead in the CDP and Censues. East Massapequa tends to be slpit into two school districts (its acually 3 as a very small part is Farmingdale, but thats about 5% of the town or so). generally speaking the Massapequa school district portion of the town was considered Massapequa park, as that was the zipcode was (mine including, and part of it Massapequa & Massapequa zipcode. What was considered East Massapequa was the area that was in the Amittyville school district. As it turns out despite having a Mass Pk zipcode, I'm actually considered East Massapequa. The racial divide in the twon is quite evident, and pretty much split between the two districts. The Massapequa side of the town (my portion) is extrememly white 96% total, non-hispanic wite about 93%, less than 1% black, 3% hispanic, 2-3% asian (which was similar to the breakdown of my precient & census data as well which is afew pages back). Also as far as ancestories in the part of East massapequa where I live has a higher concentration of Italians & Irish than what is listed for east Massapequa as a whole & lower concentration fo West Indian, etc. The Amityville portion of the town is very racially diverse about 42% white, 38% black 16% hispanic, 4% asian. As a whole the Massapequa SD is about 64% of East Massapequa, the Amityville district about 31% or so, & farmingdale about 5%.
