given the fact that south ozone/howard beach is still shown as "italian" on this map I thought that staten island (being where a ton of italians moved to from all other boroughs) would boast a much higher percentage of italian-speakers.
They don't call it Ozone Pakistani for nothing

.
But Howard Beach is still overwhelmingly Italian.
long island is a whole different story
still not like it was decades ago (a lot of indians moved there as well + latinos and asians as usual), but a similar map of nassau and suffolk would have shown a wider presence of italophones
Italians and Jews still make up the bulk of the Long Island population as a whole. Twenty years from now? Who knows?
