Why Cardi B’s Success Means So Much for Dominicans In The Bronx

If you live in the East Coast, especially New York City, then you’re probably aware that Latinos of Caribbean descent are everywhere, but especially in the Bronx. Cardi B represents the 53.5 percent of the Bronx’s population, which boasts residents of Hispanic, Latino or Spanish origins. According to a 2010 Census, “The Dominican population in the United States rose from 520,121 in 1990 to 1,041,910 in 2000, making it the fourth-largest Hispanic/Latino group in the United States, after Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans. It is estimated that, at current population growth rates, Dominicans will overtake Puerto Ricans as the largest Hispanic/Latino population of the city within the next ten years.”
