New York's 5th Congressional District

The 5th Congressional District of New York is a congressional district for the United States House of Representatives that lies along the North Shore of Long Island. It consists of northeastern Queens County and northwestern Nassau County. The Queens portion of the district includes the neighborhoods of Bayside, Corona, Douglaston, Flushing, Jamaica Estates, Little Neck, and Whitestone.

The Nassau portion of the district includes Albertson, Great Neck, Manhasset, Port Washington, Roslyn, and Sands Point. It is the only district to include both parts of New York City and suburban portions of Long Island not located inside the city.

The district is racially diverse. Non-Hispanic whites form a plurality of the population, while it also includes a large Hispanic population and the largest Asian-American population of any congressional district outside Hawaii and the San Francisco Bay Area.
