U.S. Citizens (% of Population Over 18) by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — New York Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Zip codes in northern New Jersey—particularly around Paterson, Passaic, and Newark—and parts of central Brooklyn and western Queens display some of the lowest U.S. citizenship rates among adults, frequently falling below 80%, reflecting well-established immigrant gateway communities. In contrast, much of Staten Island, the outer suburbs of Westchester County, and large swaths of northern New Jersey's more suburban zip codes trend toward 90–100% citizenship rates. Manhattan exhibits sharp internal variation, with some Upper East and West Side zip codes near 95%+ while neighboring areas in Washington Heights and Lower Manhattan dip significantly, underscoring the borough's demographic heterogeneity at a granular level.
