Community Information

religion historical immigration Christianity East Asian

The people in my community use Korean churches, Korean owned restaurants and businesses to gather and socialize. Also, to obtain community access services, the people rely on Korean pharmacies and pediatric centers to obtain services and care.

My community is made up of first and second generation Korean immigrants. It was not until the 1970s that the Greek and Italian residents started to leave Flushing, in which the Korean immigrants started to take advantage of the cheap housing prices to settle down.

My community is mostly comprised of Korean stores and businesses in which residents are employed either at restaurants or the numerous churches within the vicinity. Also, there are some residents that have white collar jobs and work at Korean pharmacies or the pediatrics.

When people think of East Flushing, the community is often mistaken as being heavily concentrated by Chinese people as it is relatively close to Downtown Flushing. However, it is essential to bring awareness that there is a small pocket of Korean residents in East Flushing that thrives on the coherence and the sharing of the same values, businesses, and ways of socializing/gathering.
