until the late 20th century, the chinese population was limited to one area in lower manhattan. the new york metropolitan area contains the largest ethnic chinese population outside of asia, enumerating an estimated 735,019 individuals , including at least 350,000 foreign born chinese , making them the city's second largest ethnic group. the chinese population in the new york city area is dispersed across at least 9 chinatowns, comprising the original manhattan chinatown, three in queens (the flushing chinatown, the elmhurst chinatown, and the newly emerged chinatown in corona), three in brooklyn (the sunset park chinatown, the avenue u chinatown, and the bensonhurst chinatown), and one each in edison, new jersey and nassau county, long island, not to mention fledgling ethnic chinese enclaves emerging throughout the new york city metropolitan area. chinese americans, as a whole, have had a (relatively) long tenure in new york city. new york city's satellite chinatowns in queens and brooklyn are thriving as traditionally urban enclaves, as large-scale chinese immigration continues into new york.
