Likely Ethnicity of Voters in New York

The images below visualize the ethnicity of registered voters in the greater New York City area. This data was not derived from the Census data. Instead Labels & Lists used the registered voter data and did an ethnic analysis of the first and last name to determine the likely ethnicity of each voter. The voters were then mapped inside of Bing Maps based on their address. Each ethnicity was assigned a color as shown in the legend at the right bottom. The maps show one dot per address. If there are voters with different ethnicities on an address then the color is interpolated.

The following web page gives an overview of how Labels & Lists determines ethnicity: Ethnicity By Party Analysis . We used the voter data for eight counties in New York: Kings, Queens, Nassau, New York, Suffolk, Bronx, Westchester and Richmond. The counts displayed in the legend reflect the voter counts and percentages for these counties. Instead of looking at individual countries of origin we can also look at broad ethnic groupings as shown in the image below.
