☞ READ: El Barrio Majority Now Mexican

Crain's today reports now that East Harlem's historically Puerto Rican enclave is now majority Mexican.  In the past 20 years, Mexican immigrants have set up along the East 116th Street corridor and that population has since quadrupled while the Puerto Rican population has decreased by 19%. It's the whole cycle of immigration again in East Harlem where one group moves in and the other moves out.  The article reports that the Puerto Rican population has been slowly transplanting to the suburbs (Pennsylvania?) and thus providing housing opportunity for the now over 50,000 Central American immigrants to move in.
