	I always seem to miss one country in Central America whenever I'm running through them in my head. This time it was Honduras.

	I'm kind of surprised, being a Canadian with many friends and family that have moved to New York, that there are more people from countries like Barbados, Guatemala and El Salvador in NY than there are Canadians.

	What surprised me most were Ecuador and Trinidad. I also would have thought there's be more Egyptian/Middle Easterners.

	wow i don't know how the last 5 are the last 5. If you live in NY, you guess those before the eastern european ones!

	Wow, I live in New York, and I was shocked at some of the top few.

	Korea should be more specific, it's split into North and South Korea.

	Yeah, the census just lists "Korea" for whatever reason.

	These figures are really interesting... apparently New York has a sixth as many Guyanans as Guyana!

	when you say 'countries of origin', you should count USA

	@mikesmith: It says 'immigrants'.

	Pit_trout: yeah, that's really strange. Guyana probably has the largest ratio of New Yorkers to actual residents of the country. It's even more than Barbados, where New York has almost 10% as many Barbadians as Barbados does.
