New York is divised in Five parts or in five boroughs :

-Bronx, it’s historically the poorest neighbor in New York. It’s the borought where the minorities live in NYC, the black minority and hispanic minority. In the Bronx, the minority are majority.

-  Brooklyn, it’s a residencial borough. That explains why it’s the borough where the population is the most important.

- Queens,  it’s the biggest borough. It’s a borough with an important industrial concentration. The airport JFK is in this borough.
