Neighborhood Comparative Analysis
One the island of Manhattan, each neighborhood contains a distinct demographic makeup and the character of a neighborhood can change almost by the block. To see how the relationship between these highly disparate neighborhoods functions, one can compare two neighborhoods in order to reveal the symbiotic interaction between them. By comparing census data from one postal code of the Upper West Side, 10025, with that of its next door neighbor Harlem (postal code 10026), it will be possible to see how these extremely different neighborhoods can exist side by side in a mutually beneficial arrangement.
The Upper West Side neighborhood of New York includes multiple postal codes, ranging from West 59th street in the south to West 125th street in the north and bounded by Central Park and the Hudson River on the east and west. For the purposes of this study, the focus will remain only on the 10025 postal code which goes from 91st street until it hits the other neighborhood serving as a focus of this study, Harlem, at 109th street. Harlem encompasses much of the northern portions of Manhattan, but the postal code selected for this study is 10026, which covers 109th to 119th street in between 5th and 9th avenue. These two areas were chosen due to their proximity and the fact that these two postal codes only touch each other; there is less chance of additional neighborhoods influencing the results from these neighboring blocks. It will be useful to examine the neighborhoods individually before moving on to a comparison and analysis.
According to the U.S. Census, the area in the Upper West Side covered by 10025 is 61% white, 15.9% black, with no other specified race or ethnicity making up more than 7% of the population (U.S. Census 2000). The total population was 97,086 as of the year 2000. 61% of the population is employed, with a median income of $49,733 but 12.2% of families and 15.4% of individuals living under the poverty line. The residents are generally well-educated, with 83.6% having graduated high school...

Nurse-Care Analysis of Sheepshead Bay The area is 4,074 square miles. Its population is 123,178. The people density of people who live in Sheepshead Bay compared to general inhabitants of Brooklyn of people per square mile is 30,233 to 34,917 (City-data.com; web).

There is a romantic charm in the notion that outsiders only 'pass through' while residents are in a kind of stop time, insular and part of the background, not part of the larger cultural narrative. Thus the Chinatown idea is fundamentally that Asia is 'different' -- exotic, of another world, rather than part of 'America.' This has often subverted the ambitions of those residents who do wish to become
