    More Dominicans live in Washington Heights than any other neighborhood, Yorkville is the city’s densest neighborhood and South Williamsburg is the youngest, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

    The data published Tuesday by the Department of City Planning at its online Population FactFinder was “another example of how we’re celebrating the melting pot that makes New York New York,” the department's Director Dan Garodnick said in a statement.

    The FactFinder and an accompanying MapViewer present an array of economic and demographic information about the city, as well as its many racial and ethnic groups.

    For instance, Jamaica has more Bangladeshi residents than any other neighborhood and South Ozone Park is the city’s largest Guyanese neighborhood.

    Jackson Heights has the most Hispanic residents of any neighborhood at 54,300. Dominicans are the largest Hispanic group in the Bronx and Manhattan, according to the department, while Ecuadorians are the largest Hispanic group in Queens. In Brooklyn and Staten Island, Puerto Ricans are the largest Hispanic group.

    More findings:

    • Canarsie has more Black residents than any other neighborhood, with 71,500, while Tottenville-Charleston on Staten Island has the fewest, with 136.
    • Queens has nine of the 10 neighborhoods with the highest rates of foreign-born residents. Flushing-Willets Point tops the list at 74%, followed by Brighton Beach, at 70%.
    • The city’s youngest neighborhood is South Williamsburg, where the median age is 19.5 years old. The oldest neighborhood is Bay Terrace-Clearview (just off the Throgs Neck Bridge), where the average resident is nearly 51.
    • The densest neighborhood in the five boroughs is Yorkville, with 267 residents per acre. The least densely populated neighborhood is Tottenville-Charleston in Staten Island, with just six people per acre. The citywide median is 46 people per acre.
    • The neighborhood with the highest median household income is Tribeca-City Center, at $200,000, followed by Financial District-Battery Park City and Upper East Side-Carnegie Hill, where the median is around $195,000. Park Slope ($192,000) and Brooklyn Heights ($180,000) are the two neighborhoods not located in Manhattan that made the top 10 list.
    • Among the 10 neighborhoods with the lowest household income, nine are located in the Bronx, save for Chinatown-Two Bridges in Manhattan. Melrose has the lowest household income of any neighborhood in the city, at $28,000.
    • Greenwich Village has the greatest proportion of college graduates, at 88%, closely followed by Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village, at 87%.
    • The neighborhood with the highest rate of overcrowding in the city is North Corona, where 30% of homes have more than one person per room. Next is Borough Park, at 27.5%. By contrast, just 1.3% of homes in Upper East Side-Carnegie Hill are overcrowded, the lowest rate of any neighborhood.
