Population Non-Hispanic White % by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — New York

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Upstate New York is predominantly yellow, indicating non-Hispanic white percentages exceeding 80-90% across most rural and suburban zip codes, with scattered lower-percentage pockets corresponding to urban centers like Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, and Albany. The most striking contrast occurs in the New York City metropolitan area, where zip codes in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens display deep purple and teal tones reflecting non-Hispanic white shares below 20%, while nearby suburban Long Island and Westchester County zip codes range widely from green to yellow. A clear urban-rural demographic gradient is evident statewide, with diversity concentrated in downstate urban cores and mid-sized upstate cities, while the Adirondack region and Southern Tier remain among the most homogeneously white areas.
