New York's 16th congressional district is a congressional district in the state of New York that is represented by Democratic Rep. George Latimer. The 16th district includes a small portion of the northern Bronx, as well as the southern portion of Westchester County.

History

From 2003 to 2013, the district included the neighborhoods of Bedford Park, East Tremont, Fordham, Hunts Point, Melrose, Highbridge, Morrisania, Mott Haven and University Heights. Yankee Stadium, Fordham University and the Bronx Zoo were located within the district. In 2008, the previous version of this district gave Barack Obama his largest victory margin of any congressional district, a 90% margin (95–5%). The 2010 census found that approximately 38% of constituents in New York's 16th lived at or below the federal poverty line, the highest poverty rate of any congressional district in the nation.
