"New York City is home to over 8 million people representing more than 800 languages and communities from nearly every nation. Its neighborhoods reflect generations of immigration. Famous and historic areas like Chinatown, Harlem, and Little Italy meet vibrant, more-modern hubs home to Caribbean, South Asian, Latin American, Middle Eastern, and Eastern European populations. This diversity is visible in the city's food, music, festivals, art, and even day-to-day life."
"To determine the most diverse neighborhoods in New York City, 24/7 Tempo reviewed five-year data on race and ethnicity from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2022 American Community Survey. Neighborhoods were ranked based on the probability that two residents picked at random would be of different races or ethnicities. The same method is used in the USA Today Diversity Index as well as the racial and ethnic diversity index of the Disseminating Diversity Working Group of the Census Bureau."
New York City houses over eight million residents speaking more than 800 languages and representing communities from nearly every nation.

Cultural diversity appears in food, music, festivals, art, and daily life, producing overlapping traditions and identities. Five-year race and ethnicity data from the 2022 American Community Survey were analyzed and aggregated from census tracts to neighborhood boundaries. Neighborhoods were ranked by the probability that two randomly chosen residents differ in race or ethnicity, identifying fifty culturally rich communities.
