NYC is more ethnically diverse, less racially segregated, report finds

New York City grew more ethnically diverse and less racially segregated between 2010 and 2020, according to a new CUNY report for the city’s Districting Commission.

Long-established ethnic groups that have historically defined New York City’s political and cultural landscape are shrinking, according to the findings. That includes Italian, Irish, and Eastern European immigrants; African Americans; Afro Caribbeans and Puerto Ricans.

Reporter Arya Sundaram of the newsroom's Race and Justice Unit discussed the report with Weekend All Things Considered host Tiffany Hanssen.
