came in many zones with high proportions of African Americans: along the southern shores of Brooklyn from Coney Island into the Rockaways, extending to Valley Stream and the Nassau County township of Hempstead, also out to Long Beach. \u00a0From there eastward into Suffolk, where African American communities remained mostly inland, excluded from the coastlines, those communities suffered lesser damage.<\/p>\n<p>The Latino communities on the map are represented by shades ranging from light orange (least concentrated) \u00a0to darker brown, most heavily populated by this ethnic group. \u00a0The geographic distribution of these communities also reflects historic patterns of segregation, as well as a more intensive recent migration suburb-ward. \u00a0Most clusters lie within and near New York City but then also stretch along the middle of the Island, particularly in Suffolk County. \u00a0\u00a0As with African Americans, those Latino communities across the middle and eastern parts of the island saw little damage to their schools, and by extension their own nearby homes. \u00a0\u00a0The more inundated schools near Latino communities lie across southern Brooklyn and Queens into Central Nassau. \u00a0Indeed, in these parts of the island, also the hardest hit by the storm, most all damaged schools appear to lie in areas where either Latinos or African Americans were most concentrated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Map 1&#8211;African American Residents versus Inundated Schools.\u00a0 These schools were registered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as being flooded during Sandy.\u00a0 Where schools were inundated, much of the surrounding residential neighborhood often was as well.\u00a0 Hover over a school dot and right click for that school&#8217;s name.\u00a0 Sources: NHGIS and FEMA Map 2&#8211;Latino&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":2164,"menu_order":4,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2199","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/envirodangers.studies.stonybrook.edu\/wordpress\/envirodangers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2199","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/envirodangers.studies.stonybrook.edu\/wordpress\/envirodangers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/envirodangers.studies.stonybrook.edu\/wordpress\/envirodangers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/envirodangers.studies.stonybrook.edu\/wordpress\/envirodangers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/envirodangers.studies.stonybrook.edu\/wordpress\/envirodangers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2199"}],"version-history":[{"count":41,"href":"https:\/\/envirodangers.studies.stonybrook.edu\/wordpress\/envirodangers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2199\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5362,"href":"https:\/\/envirodangers.studies.stonybrook.edu\/wordpress\/envirodangers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2199\/revisions\/5362"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/envirodangers.studies.stonybrook.edu\/wordpress\/envirodangers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/envirodangers.studies.stonybrook.edu\/wordpress\/envirodangers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2199"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/envirodangers.studies.stonybrook.edu\/wordpress\/envirodangers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2199"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
