Although Manhattan continues to be the area of greatest concentration of Dominicans, with 33.5 percent of the New York City population residing there, the nineties saw a major spreading of Dominicans into other parts of the City. The Bronx, in particular, grew sharply as an area of Dominican settlement and now rivals Manhattan as the borough of New York with most Dominicans. In 2000, the Bronx was host to 181,400 Dominicans, compared to 185,808 in Manhattan. Within Manhattan, the overwhelming focus of location is the Washington Heights/Inwood area. In the Bronx, there are large settlements in Morris Heights, Highbridge, Univ. Heights, Morris Heights, the Concourse, Fordham, Bedford Park and Marble Hill.
