Community Profile

Paper Summary:

This paper studies the New York state community served by the zip code 10463. The paper begins with an assessment of census date about the community, focusing on the large immigrant population which is largely not English speaking. Next, the paper discusses the historical, geographical and recreational aspects of that community. Points of discussion include the average income level and corresponding recreational habits, as well as attractions for residents and visitors.

From the Paper:

"That it remains an area of immigrants, more so than other neighborhoods, is revealed by its Civilian veteran population, with 8.2 percent in zip code 10463, vs. 12.7 percent nationally. This discrepancy might exist if the population were much younger than the national average, not having had a chance to serve yet in the armed forces. In fact, the median age is 37.7, while that national median is 35.3 years. While this isn't conclusive by itself, the fact is, the sounds on the street are predominantly foreign languages and accented English, and the Census also reveals that foreign-born individuals comprise 32.0 percent of the population of zip code 10463, vs. only 11.1 percent nationally. Residents speaking an language other than English at home is very substantially higher than for the nation, 50.5 percent vs. 17.9 percent."
