Old Places, New Places: Geographic Mobility of Dominicans in the U.S. [REPORT]

The Dominican population in the United States continues to grow at a steady pace . Contrary to the past, demographic growth is now accompanied by tremendous internal mobility and geographic dispersion of the Dominican population.

Historically, Dominicans have been heavily concentrated in the northeast, particularly in New York  State, specifically in New York City (Graham, 1996). State preference, however, has begun to change  among Dominicans.  Census data reveals, for instance, that although New York continues to house  the largest number of Dominicans in the U.S., Dominicans are progressively spreading to other states  along the northeast corridor as well as out of these boundaries.
