If the percentages are added up all the way up to before the Hispanic percentage, you get 55.58%. By adding Hispanics to that percentage, you get 134.32%. That's way over 100% to just ignore. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Drivenbywhat (talk • contribs) 19:39, 3 November 2006 (UTC).[reply]

The US Census distinguishes between race (White, Black, Asian etc.) and ethnicity (Hispanic, Non-Hispanic). That's why if you add the Hispanic percentage to the others the total is over 100 percent. See Racial demographics of the United States for more information. Darkcore 20:09, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Census data for West New York

[edit]

I would like to know where the data for the West New York population dropping to 13,000 in 2000 was derived from. I have lived there all my life and it is definetly inaccurate. Secondly the 2000 census is not included within the refernce listed. On another note the fact that the 1970 census showed a 14% increase was due to the mass Cuban exodus of the 1960's due to Castro's takeover. I have recently acquired the only known history book on West New York published in 1948 in response to its golden jubilee and am considering writing a history of the town, if anyone knows of any good sources aside from local papers for 1948 on please contact me. lrdistributors@aol.com —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Larteaga (talk • contribs) 16:10, 29 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]


I wanted to point out that there are NEW census estimates available for towns of this size. The U.S. Census Bureau released information from the period 2005 to 2007. However, it should be noted that the information is the result of a SURVEY and it is an ESTIMATE.

Trivia

[edit]

The missing counterpart city of East New York, NY can be verified through Mapquest. You'll see that there is an East New York but no West New York. Since this is a "trivia" section and not necessarily an informative section of the article, you should not remove it because you believe it's nonsense. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Drivenbywhat (talk • contribs) 16:52, 7 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

  • All of the other material in the section is factual and backed by sources. The fact that your original research leads you to conclude that West New York is a missing city to match up with "North New York, South New York, East New York" does not belong here, or anywhere. If you can find a reliable and verifiable source to back up your conclusion, I will be more than happy to support the reinsertion of the text. This is exactly why Wikipedia frowns on Trivia sections.

  • I'm backing up that conclusion with a search on Mapquest and any map itself. Type in East New York, NY and you'll find a match. It's a city east of Brooklyn. Type in West New York, NY and you won't find any matches. Use any other map direction website and you'll find the same result. If you happen to have a map of New York, you'll also find the same result. Those are the only verifiable sources that can be used. Because West New York isn't exactly a famous city, there aren't many reference books on it except for information of the city history.

    • The fact that there is a neighborhood (not a city) called East New York, Brooklyn does not make West New York a "missing city". It's not even a very interesting coincidence that there are places called both East New York and West New York. I'm still waiting to hear about North New York and

South New York. Alansohn 18:10, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Geography: Highest number of renters?

[edit]

It would be very doubtful that a city of only 45,768 people could rank anywhere close to the highest "number" of renters in the United States, even if every last person living there was a renter. Without even checking any statistics at all it would be most likely that cities with large populations would be at the top of the list. I would guess that New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, etc., would lead the list. ...Now, if were talking percentage, however, I might start to believe such a statement. Backspace

http://www.city-data.com/top14.html. it was supposed to be % with 0.8%. 10max01 23:19, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • The source provided shows the top locations as 1.0% renters. The Census Bureau lists WNY as 80.1% renters, which leads me to assume that the city-data.com is off by a factor of 100. The article has been updated to reflect the details. Alansohn 05:07, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
