Jamaica is a neighborhood in the southeastern part of the borough of Queens in New York City. Jamaica is the largest and most densely populated neighborhood in central Queens, with 650,000 people residing in the downtown’s market area. Recently, Jamaica has attracted many immigrants. More than 73 percent of the residents are non-white Hispanic, Asian-American and African-American ethnic minorities, many of whom are immigrants. Jamaica has a median household income of $25,000.
Geographically, Jamaica is divided into "South Side" or "North Side." North Side refers to neighborhoods north of downtown Jamaica, including Hollis and Queens. It is a vibrant middle class neighborhood, mainly African-American, with tree-lined streets of single- and two-family homes. Southside Jamaica is also predominately African-American, though more and more immigrants from Latin America and the Caribbean have moved in since the 1970s. The South Side is a working-class neighborhood mostly of one-and two-family houses and small apartment buildings.
