The entire 31-county tri-state area (including the 5 counties aka "boroughs" of NYC), as defined by NYC's Department of City Planning, is characterized by increasing linguistic diversity. Though the focus is on NYC, see below for at least one data point per county, with many for the more diverse counties. The focus is on communities speaking less common languages.
