New York's 6th congressional district is a congressional district for the United States House of Representatives in New York City, located entirely within Queens. It is represented by Democrat Grace Meng. A plurality of the district's population is Asian-American, and a majority of its population is non-white.
The district includes several racially and ethnically diverse Queens neighborhoods, including Auburndale, Bayside, East Elmhurst, Elmhurst, Flushing, Forest Hills, Glendale, Kew Gardens, Maspeth, Middle Village, Murray Hill, and Rego Park. Prior to the 2022 election, the district was redrawn to include sections of Jackson Heights and Astoria which were previously part of NY-14.
In 2018, Chinese Americans made up 21.9% of the 6th district's population, the highest of any district in New York, and its Asian American population of 39.4% was similarly the highest out of New York's congressional districts, and the only district in New York where Asians formed the largest ethnic group. The 6th district takes in the original Queens Chinatown in Flushing, the neighborhood with the highest concentration of Chinese people in New York, as well as the surrounding neighborhoods of Auburndale and Murray Hill, home to a large Chinese population.[4]
