A large percentage of the immigrants that came to New York City after 1965 were from non-European countries. Most of the earlier immigrants to New York City were from Europe (initially from Western Europe, and then more from Eastern Europe). The recorded increase in the city's immigrant percentage after 1970 occurred after the passage of the Immigration Act of 1965 (which took effect in 1968) and at a time when a greater number of immigrants than before were coming to the United States. After immigration restrictions were passed in the 1920s, immigrants as a percentage of New York's total population dropped to 18% in 1970, before bouncing back up to 36% in 2000. Right before World War I over 40% of New York City's total population was composed of immigrants. New York City has always had a much greater percentage of immigrants as part of its total population than the whole United States has.

Brooklyn's population grew at a much slower rate during this time period, while Manhattan actually had fewer people in 2010 than in 1900.

The Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island experienced enormous population growth between 19, much higher than New York's average population growth. New York City's total population more than doubled between 19 (with a period of population stagnation between 19). The Bronx and Brooklyn were the most popular destinations for blacks to settle, while Queens was the most popular destination for Asian migrants to NYC and the Bronx was the most popular destination for Hispanic migrants to move to. New York's five boroughs have had different settlement histories.

New York's Hispanic population increased by almost twenty times between 19, while its total Non-Hispanic White population decreased by over 60% over the same time period. The large black migration to New York City helped cause the Harlem Renaissance, a rich cultural period for the African Americans living in New York (especially in Harlem neighborhood, the namesake) between the end of World War I and the Great Depression. Between 19, New York City's total black population increased by about thirty-five times, while its Asian population increased by over one-hundred-and-fifty times over the same period. The slowest area in the city to change its racial makeup was Staten Island, which was the only borough of New York City to retain a Non-Hispanic White majority after the 1980s. Large numbers of non-whites only began settling in Manhattan in the 1920s and in the rest of NYC after World War II. The population of New York City was over 90% Non-Hispanic White until the post-World War II era.
