I stumbled upon these maps of the last congressional elections between the African-American Rangel and the Dominican Adriano Espaillat. The maps focuses on upper Manhattan (everything north of Central Park) which is the area where Harlem and Washington Heights are located, the first known as the main African-American neighborhood on Manhattan and the second one as having the highest concentration of Dominicans outside of Santo Domingo, supposedly.
If anyone has wondered where exactly does the Dominican portion ends, these electoral maps leaves the question satisfactorily answered. If anything surprised me is how sharp the boundary is, I thought there was a mixed area and that one community tapered off into the other.
The results for Espaillat (also includes a section of the Bronx in the upper right; might have to right click on the image and open in a new tab if image is not fully visible in the post):
The results for Rangel:
Rangel Holds Off Espaillat in Congressional Primary - NY1
This took place back in June 2014:
