Ecuadorians Number 4 Latino Group in NYC (Especially in Queens)

As a born and bred Queens, NYC Latina, I sure don’t need statistics to tell me that the Ecuadorian population is steadily growing. It’s the reason there are more Ecuadorian food trucks and carts from Jackson Heights to Flushing. It’s the reason my own daughter loves guatita y sopa de bola. Markets blast Ecuadorian music and flyers glued to the wood planks outside of new buildings advertise such talent as Caramelo Caliente. the numbers tell me what I have been living.
Census figures show about 102,000 Ecuadorean immigrants, more than from any other Latin American country, live in Queens.With a population of about 162,900 citywide, Ecuadoreans are New York’s fourth largest Hispanic contingent, behind Puerto Ricans (770,100), Dominicans (587,330) and Mexicans (260,620), according to the census.
