Census tract 281, which is a 3 block area in Jackson Heights, Queens (from 83rd St. to 86th St.), is officially the most diverse census in the city. With 21 languages spoken and 51 different countries represented, I think it's safe to assume that this census is probably the most diverse in the country, let alone the world! More than 70% of residents speak a language other than English, including (but not limited to) Spanish, French, Russian, Hindi, Chinese, and Tagalog! All in 3 blocks no less.
What a fun area for exploration :) J and I often venture to Jackson Heights for its great dining options, but I think a specific trip to this census tract is in order!
