I'm north of NYC, but we've never had a very large black population. ONTH, I've noticed more Hispanics. My particular area does not have great job growth.

Two words: Expensive real estate.
There are two types of people leaving NYC these days:
1. Black people who are being priced out of the market. I had a coworker who told me that she was leaving Bed Stuy for New Jersey, because there was no way in hell that she would pay $1400 a month just to live in Bed Stuy.
2. White folk who are being priced out of the market, or who want to raise kids. The former are largely blue collar and low level service workers, the latter folks of all social classes who want to raise their kids in someplace other than a expensive 695 sq.ft. co-op.
New York, like San Francisco and Seattle, is becoming a city of DINKs and SINKs, and the immigrants who provide services to them.

Are the Hispanics in your area new immigrants or native-born Nuyoricans and Dominican Yorks who are moving up from the city?
I know that many 'Ricans and Dominicans are moving to Pennsylvania and the Orlando, Florida area.

NYC is a boom town again. Of course, that could change overnight.

People grapping with both hands. I doubt there's a city in America that has reaped more financial rewards from the Bush Presidency than NYC.

The East Stroudsburg, Pa., area, where radio advertisements lured first-time homebuyers, was among the 15 top destinations for black residents leaving New York City. More black New Yorkers moved to Monroe County in the Poconos than to either the Rockland or Orange County suburbs of New York. As I told you a few weeks ago, the Pennsylvania "exurbs" of New York have become popular with blacks and Latinos (especially Nuyoricans) who can no longer afford to live in the city of close-in suburbs.

After 9/11, I was told that "real estate would plummet" in New York City.
If I would have bough a condo in Bay Friggin' Ridge, I would have made a gain of at least 50% since then.

Many blacks are returning back to the South, in areas where their parents or grandparents were born and raised and moved north in the 50s and 60s. Land and housing in the South is cheap and readily available, as well as the jobs created from foreign automakers.

When I was visiting my sister in Greenville, South Carolina I remember seeing three cars with New York plates (an odd site down there, so I took notice). All three were driven by middle age black folks. They were likely part of the migration, as few people from New York visit Greenville to visit unless they have family there.
