 ""There, blacks account for 6 in 10 residents, BUT THOSE BORN IN THE UNITED STATES MAKE UP BARELY HALF OF ALL RESIDENTS. Since 2000, the proportion of whites living there has more than doubled, to more than one in 10 residents — the highest since the 1940s. THE HISPANIC POPULATION, WHICH WAS CONCENTRATED IN EAST HARLEM, IS NOW AT AN ALL-TIME HIGH IN CENTRAL HARLEM, UP 27 PERCENT SINCE 2000."" 

 Again within the same article...  

 ""About 15 percent of Harlem’s black population is foreign-born, mostly from the Caribbean, WITH A """"""""""""""""GROWING"""""""""""""" NUMBER FROM AFRICA"" 

 Also within the article... 

 ""Some experts say the decline in the black population may be overstated because poorer people are typically undercounted by the census, and Harlem has a disproportionate number of poor people."" 

 ""Other analysts point to the outflow of some blacks and the influx of others as positive evidence that barriers to integration have fallen in other neighborhoods and that Harlem has become a more attractive place to live.  

 “It’s a mistake to see this only as a story of racial change,” said Scott M. Stringer, the Manhattan borough president. “What’s interesting is that many African-Americans are living in Harlem by choice, not necessity.” 

 Andrew A. Beveridge, a sociologist at Queens College, said, “Harlem has become as it was in the early 1930s — a predominantly black neighborhood, but with other groups living there as well.”
