=== Satellite Chinatowns' demographics === {{Main|Flushing Chinatown|Brooklyn Chinatown}} The [[Flushing Chinatown]] was spearheaded by many Chinese following the [[Handover of Hong Kong]] in 1997 as well as [[Taiwanese people|Taiwanese]] who used their considerable capital to buy out the land from the former residents. The Chinatowns of Flushing and Elmhurst are more middle class and were initially mainly small Taiwanese Mandarin-speaking enclaves, but have since grown very large and very diversified with Chinese migrants from many various regions from mainland China also often speaking Mandarin along with their regional dialects. Flushing is now the largest Chinatown of New York City and has taken over as being the main Chinese cultural center due to the very high diversity of Chinese immigrants from many various regions of mainland China and Taiwan.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/littlenyc/chinatown-flushing-queens/ | title=Chinatown β Flushing, Queens β Little NYC | access-date=October 23, 2019 | archive-date=October 23, 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191023144351/https://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/littlenyc/chinatown-flushing-queens/ | url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url = https://fordhamram.com/69896/culture/flushing-queens-the-other-chinatown/|title = Flushing, Queens: The Other Chinatown|date = February 4, 2021|access-date = October 23, 2019|archive-date = October 23, 2019|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20191023144357/https://fordhamram.com/69896/culture/flushing-queens-the-other-chinatown/|url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url = https://www.npr.org/2016/01/26/463857599/leaving-chinas-north-immigrants-redefine-chinese-in-new-york|title = Leaving China's North, Immigrants Redefine Chinese in New York|website = [[NPR]]|access-date = October 23, 2019|archive-date = October 23, 2019|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20191023144351/https://www.npr.org/2016/01/26/463857599/leaving-chinas-north-immigrants-redefine-chinese-in-new-york|url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web| url=https://www.businessinsider.com/i-ate-my-way-through-flushing-queens-and-now-i-get-why-its-the-bigger-and-better-chinatown-2015-5| title=This is what it's like in one of the biggest and fastest-growing Chinatowns in the world| website=[[Business Insider]]| access-date=October 23, 2019| archive-date=April 13, 2022| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220413105131/https://www.businessinsider.com/i-ate-my-way-through-flushing-queens-and-now-i-get-why-its-the-bigger-and-better-chinatown-2015-5| url-status=live}}</ref> There are three major [[Brooklyn Chinatown]]s. Unlike the Chinese enclaves in Queens, which has a very high diversity of Chinese immigrants from various regions of mainland China and Taiwan, the Brooklyn Chinatowns are very segregated into Cantonese dominated enclaves in Bensonhurst and Sheepshead Bay and the Fuzhou dominated enclave in Sunset Park, although with some significant limited population of long-time Cantonese residents. The Sunset Park Chinatown originally emerged as a small Cantonese enclave, but with the large influx of Fuzhou immigrants arriving into Sunset Park since the 2000s, it has grown into becoming the largest Fuzhou Chinatown of New York City, although some Cantonese people remain in the Sunset Park area.<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://brooklyneagle.com/articles/2019/08/09/sunset-park-chinatown-shopping/|title = Live lobsters, longan fruit and a small-town feel: Sunset Park's Chinatown|date = August 9, 2019|access-date = October 23, 2019|archive-date = October 23, 2019|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20191023144352/https://brooklyneagle.com/articles/2019/08/09/sunset-park-chinatown-shopping/|url-status = live}}</ref><ref name="auto1"/> The Bensonhurst and [[Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn|Sheepshead Bay]] Chinatowns are primarily Cantonese populated as a result of many of them migrating away from both Chinatowns of Manhattan and Brooklyn Sunset Park including new Cantonese immigration. Bensonhurst Chinatown's Chinese population is growing faster than that of Sunset Park. According to the 2010 census information, [[Bensonhurst, Brooklyn|Bensonhurst]] and the nearby neighborhood of [[Bath Beach, Brooklyn|Bath Beach]] in Brooklyn together constituted New York City's largest concentrated community of [[Hong Kongers|Hong Kong Residents]] (with 3,723 in Bensonhurst and 1,049 in Bath Beach totaling together at 4,772), even though they are very heavily mixed in with the area's much larger Cantonese community consisting mostly of Cantonese speaking immigrants from [[Mainland China]]'s [[Guangdong Province]], and although most of the Hong Kong residents are scattered across many other neighborhoods of New York City while only roughly about less than a quarter of New York City's Hong Kong residents reside in Bensonhurst/Bath Beach.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/brooklyn/asian-boom-brooklyn-n-lline-neighborhoods-brooklyn-census-data-shows-article-1.955293|title=New York Daily News β Asian Boom in Brooklyn Neighborhoods|website=[[New York Daily News]]|date=2015|access-date=October 23, 2019|archive-date=October 23, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191023145519/https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/brooklyn/asian-boom-brooklyn-n-lline-neighborhoods-brooklyn-census-data-shows-article-1.955293|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="auto2"/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/planning/download/pdf/planning-level/nyc-population/census2010/m_asnsubnum_ct.pdf|title=Asian Population 2010 by Census Tract|author=New York City Government|date=2010|access-date=October 23, 2019|archive-date=September 19, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200919074143/https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/planning/download/pdf/planning-level/nyc-population/census2010/m_asnsubnum_ct.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/projects/census/2010/map.html|title=Mapping America: Every City, Every Block|newspaper=The New York Times|date=December 13, 2010|access-date=February 21, 2020|archive-date=February 3, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200203074014/http://www.nytimes.com/projects/census/2010/map.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/planning/download/pdf/data-maps/nyc-population/nny2013/chapter3.pdf|title=The Newest New Yorkers β Chapter 3|author=New York City Government|date=2013|access-date=October 25, 2019|archive-date=August 7, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190807230505/https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/planning/download/pdf/data-maps/nyc-population/nny2013/chapter3.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref> [[New York City Department of City Planning|NYC Dept. Of City Planning]] provided updated 2020 census data on the Asian population of New York City. Bensonhurst now has 46,000 Asian Residents while Sunset Park had 31,400 Asian Residents, which means Bensonhurst now has the highest Asian population of Brooklyn surpassing Sunset Park as the original epicenter of Brooklyn's Asian population. The Asian population in Bensonhurst and Sunset Park are still overwhelmingly Chinese residents. Queens neighborhoods of Flushing (54,200 Asian Residents) and Elmhurst(55,800 Asian Residents) still hold the largest Asian populations in all of New York City though. Manhattan's Chinatown Asian population ranks at 27,200 residents.<ref name="auto4"/><ref name="auto6"/><ref name="auto7"/>
