##Title: Migrant Waves to New York City
##Slug:
migrants-nyc
Why we care now: New York City has always been a city of immigrants. Since large scale immigration to the United States began in the 19th century, New York has been consistently at the forefront of locales that immigrants from abroad flock to. However, as time progressed, the demographics of these immigrants to New York City has changed a great deal. We'll attempt to answer a few questions about these different groups, such as why they came to New York City, where in the city they settled, and whether or not they moved to another area after a generation or two. Discovering these answers can lead us to a better understanding as to how our city is set up in terms of ethnic neighborhoods. We'd also like to make a map/GIF to show changes in neighborhoods over time.
