NY-7 is a Hispanic district, NY-8 and NY-9 are VRA African-American districts that expanded south in the last redistricting to add population. NY-11 is a cohesive Republican district based in Staten Island. When you put that together, you end up with an unclaimed non-minority territory in Brooklyn that has nowhere to go but with Manhattan.
The map also shows the results of the dismantling of Anthony Weiner's old 9th district which strung together non-minority, and often Republican, neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens.
