ABSTRACT
Over the past three decades, it has been fascinating to watch the evolution of NYC neighbourhoods, especially those in which a substantial number of Indo-Caribbeans reside. Indo-Caribbeans are recognized as a separate ethnic group in NYC. They embrace many core cultural values that are different from those of mainstream American as well as other immigrant groups' culture. The random sample of Indo-Caribbeans consists of more females than males which constitutes a sex ratio of 88, compared with a sex ratio of 100.5 for their homeland, 91.3 for NYC and 92 for the foreign-born groups. Indo-Caribbeans seemed to be doing well economically when compared with the citywide level. The importance of Indo-Caribbeans acquiring higher levels of education is shown by the close relationship between higher income and higher education. Indo-Caribbeans' household median income is higher than the citywide level, and therefore their poverty level was expected to be lower than the citywide rate.
