A Social Explorer map focusing on U.S. Census data for people in NYC with Puerto Rican and Spanish (i.e. Cuban, Dominican, etc.) surnames.

Description

Based on Social Explorer, this map focuses on five key concentrations of Puerto Ricans in NYC. Notably, the map uses Puerto Rican and Spanish surnames, a category outlined during the United States 1960 Census, to determine the location and volume of Puerto Ricans and other Spanish peoples per census tract. The map is primarily limited to Manhattan, South Bronx, and North Brooklyn.
