New York's 14th congressional district

New York's 14th congressional district is a congressional district for the United States House of Representatives located in New York City, represented by Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

The district includes the eastern part of The Bronx and part of north-central Queens. The Queens portion includes the neighborhoods of Astoria, College Point, Corona, East Elmhurst, Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, and Woodside. The Bronx portion of the district includes the neighborhoods of City Island, Country Club, Van Nest, Morris Park, Parkchester, Pelham Bay, Schuylerville, and Throggs Neck. The Bronx section of the district takes in part of the majority-Latino sections of the Bronx, with large Puerto Rican, Mexican, and Dominican populations, while the Queens section of the district includes ethnically diverse neighborhoods with large Chinese, Ecuadorian, Indian, Bangladeshi, and Greek communities. The district has the highest percentages of Ecuadorian Americans, at 9.0%, and Bangladeshi Americans, at 2.3%, out of New York's congressional districts. Roughly half of the population of the district is of Hispanic or Latino heritage, making it one of the more Latino districts in New York. Before redistricting for the 2012 election, much of the area was in New York's 7th congressional district.
