Of the 3,260 known sex offenders residing in New York City, 133 live in Staten Island, 683 live in Brooklyn, 232 live in Manhattan, 531 live in the Bronx, and 204 in Queens.
The most—104 sex offenders—live in the 11207 zip code, which in Brooklyn’s East New York section.
In Westchester, the zip code 10701 in Yonkers has the most—44 offenders, followed by 34 in 10550 in Mount Vernon. In Westchester, an average of 2.8 level 2 and 3 sex offenders reside in each zip code, according to a report released by the lawmakers.

10701. That is downtown Yonkers, isn’t it?
Is there a breakdown of the illegal immigrants on that offender list? Don’t say they are all deported. They should be after doing crimes, but often aren’t because the system is so inept.
No breakdown of immigration status on the NY DOJ website. However, only about 1/4 of the names on the list are Hispanic, if you’re operating under the assumption that most illegal immigrants are Hispanic in origin.
