Census Analysis Shows Shifts in New York City's Makeup - NYTimes.com: Reversing a trend that had held for decades, more Dominicans left New York City than arrived since 2000, a new census analysis found. And a surge of Mexican immigrants nearly bumped them ahead of South Americans into third place among Hispanic groups.
Mexicans are also poised to overtake Puerto Ricans and Dominicans among mothers giving birth in the city. Birthrates among Mexican immigrants in North Corona, Queens, are nearly as high as among Orthodox Jews in central Brooklyn, who have one of the highest birthrates of any group in the city. During the last decade, Hispanic residents of North Corona had the highest natural population increase — births over deaths — in the city.
