In the diversity series study, Yonkers was ranked fifth among midsized cities - municipalities with between 100,000 and 300,000 residents - and New Rochelle was ranked sixth among small cities - municipalities with fewer than 100,000 residents - for their diversity.

The two rank 19th and 18th overall, respectively, in the country.
