Chinese

See also: Chinese Americans, Chinatown, Manhattan and Flushing, Queens

The New York metropolitan area contains the largest ethnic Chinese population outside of Asia, enumerating 619,427 individuals as of the 2007 American Community Survey Census statistical data, including at least 6 Chinatowns, not to mention fledgling ethnic Chinese enclaves emerging throughout the New York metropolitan area.

Like other such districts in American cities, the Chinatown neighborhood of Manhattan is an ethnic enclave with a large population of Chinese Americans and Chinese immigrants.

By the 1980s, it had surpassed San Francisco's Chinatown to become the largest enclave of Chinese residents in the Western hemisphere. Since 2000 it has been outgrown by the lesser-known but larger Chinatown community in nearby Flushing, Queens (also part of New York City.)

Sunset Park is my neighborhood. The Asian population of NYC went from 10% in 2000 to 11.1% in 2007. Of course less than half of it was by legal means, I suspect.
