^ It's actually shocking how suburbanized the Italian and especially Irish populations have become:
Manhattan
Italian -- 6.1% (100K)
Irish -- 6.9% (113K)
Brooklyn
Italian -- 5.1% (134K)
Irish -- 3.3% (87K)
Queens
Italian -- 5.5% (127K)
Irish -- 3.8% (89K)
The Bronx
Italian -- 3.1% (44K)
Irish -- 2.1% (30K)
Staten Island
Italian -- 31% (147K)
Irish -- 12.2% (58K)
NYC
Italian -- 6.5% (552K)
Irish -- 4.4% (377K)
I would have expected a greater presence of "working middle class" (cops, firefighters, general contractors) in all the outer boroughs minus Staten Island, but I guess there are too many immigrants for comfort. As far as ethnic group rankings, Italian is tied with Chinese and well behind Jewish, Puerto Rican, and Dominican; and there are slightly more Irish than Mexican (340K), which one typically doesn't associate with NYC.
