Chinatowns in Queens

Last updated

As the city proper with the largest ethnic Chinese population outside of Asia by a wide margin, estimated at 628,763 as of 2017, [9] and as the primary destination for new Chinese immigrants, [10] New York City is subdivided into official municipal boroughs, which themselves are home to significant Chinese populations, with Brooklyn and Queens, adjacently located on Long Island, leading the fastest growth. [11] [12] The boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn encompass the largest Chinese populations, respectively, of all municipalities in the United States.

Most who have come to the United States in the past year were middle-class adults who have headed to New York after being released from custody.
