About Flushing, New York

Flushing is one of the largest and most vibrant Asian-American communities in the United States, centered in northeastern Queens. The neighborhood's economy is driven by small businesses, the restaurant industry, real estate, and professional services catering to a predominantly Chinese and Korean population. Flushing has seen significant real estate development and rising property values, though incomes remain moderate compared to other parts of New York City. City and state income taxes apply on top of federal obligations. The area's economic vitality comes from entrepreneurial energy and a commercial district that serves as a regional hub for Asian-American communities across the Northeast.
