New York's 12th Congressional District is a congressional district for the United States House of Representatives located in New York City. It is now represented by Democrat Carolyn Maloney.
The district includes several neighborhoods in the East Side of Manhattan, Greenpoint, and western Queens, mostly overlapping the pre-redistricting 14th district.[1] The 12th district's per capita income, in excess of $75,000, is the highest among all congressional districts in the United States.[2]
From 2003-2013 it included parts of Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan. It included the Queens neighborhoods of Maspeth, Ridgewood, and Woodside, the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Bushwick, Greenpoint, Red Hook, East New York, Brooklyn Heights, Sunset Park, and Williamsburg and part of Manhattan’s Lower East Side and East Village.
