POPULATION IN NEW YORK
While over one and a half million people are crowded into Manhattan Island, the city offers many parks and neighbourhoods to contain them. The famous Central Park and other smaller parks offer places to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. Manhattan is divided into the East Side and West Side by Fifth Avenue. Housing is a big problem in Manhattan where most people rent the apartments in which they live.
The neighbourhoods of New York are diverse and often reflect the immigrant populations that settled here. Three-fourths of New York’s population includes Irish, Italian, Jewish, Puerto Rican, and black Americans. The famous Chinatown neighbourhood resembles the country for which is named with telephone booths shaped like pagodas. Little Italy is just north of Chinatown and has the sights, smells, and sounds of other Italian cities. The Lower East Side of Manhattan is a “melting pot” of races, religions and cultures. Many of the immigrants who settled there in the early 1900s survived crowding and poverty by becoming educated in the city’s public schools and colleges. Many of these immigrants were Jewish people from Eastern Europe. Today, many Jewish businesses flourish in the city. The part of Manhattan now is home to a large Puerto Rican population.
