The 16th district includes a small portion of the northern Bronx (specifically the neighborhood of Wakefield) and the southern half of Westchester County, including the suburban cities of White Plains, Mount Vernon, Yonkers, New Rochelle, and Rye. The district has the highest percentage of Jamaican Americans, at 9.0%, out of any congressional district in New York, due to the large Caribbean population in the north Bronx.[3]
In 2008, the previous version of this district gave Barack Obama his largest victory margin of any congressional district, a margin of 90% (95ā5%).[4] The current configuration of the 16th district is strongly Democratic, though it is not as overwhelmingly Democratic as other districts in the city.
