New York is ready for white-wash
“In New York like many other cities, blacks are leaving the city for the suburbs and elsewhere, leading to an increase in the white presence among younger segments of the city population”
But while minorities accounted for most Bronx residents of every age below 96, non-Hispanic whites are a majority of Manhattanites in their 20s and 30s and also of the borough’s residents 57 and older.
The wide variation by borough reflects several demographic trends, including an exodus of blacks to the suburbs and the South, and white gentrification in Harlem and other Upper Manhattan neighborhoods and in Central Brooklyn, where younger couples are gravitating to raise families.
“There is a noticeable upward shift in the white percent for children, especially in Manhattan, between 2000 and 2010, suggesting more parents are staying in the city longer,” Dr. Frey said. “This pattern is even more noticeable in Brooklyn, where, as well, there is a notable increased share of whites in the late 20s and 30s, indicating an even stronger 2000-2010 draw of white young adults and families.”
Sam Roberts, you call this “stable”?
