The Influences of Race in Watertown, New York
Like many communities across the nation, Watertown, New York, is a predominantly White community with a significant cross section of minority races. The racial composition of Watertown, more exactly, is 87.8% White, 4.9% African American, 3.6% Hispanic, and 3.7% other (Watertown, 2009).
