New York's 11th congressional district


New York's 11th congressional district is a congressional district for the United States House of Representatives in New York City. The 11th district includes all of Staten Island and parts of southern Brooklyn, including the neighborhoods of Bay Ridge, Bath Beach, Dyker Heights, south western Gravesend, western Sheepshead Bay, and parts of southern Bensonhurst. The 11th district is currently represented by Republican Nicole Malliotakis, who is currently the only Republican representing any part of New York City in Congress. Malliotakis was first elected in 2020, defeating one-term incumbent Democrat Max Rose.
The district's character is very different from the rest of New York City. It is the only district in the city that leans toward the Republican Party in national elections; indeed, it is the only district of the 12 based in the city with a Cook Partisan Voting Index less than D+20. With a PVI of R+10, it is one of the most Republican urban districts in the country. It was the only New York City-based district carried by Donald Trump in 2020, who won it with 55 percent of the vote to Democratic opponent Joe Biden's 44 percent.

According to the , the district contained about 499,000 potential voters. Of these, 64% are White, 15% Latino, 12% Black, and 8% Asian. Immigrants make up 29% of the district's potential voters. The district has significant Italian-American, Jewish, Irish-American, and Russian-American populations. Median income among households in the district is about $85,200. As for the educational attainment of potential voters in the district, 10% of those 25 and older have not earned a high school degree, while 38% hold a bachelor's or higher degree.

History

Prior to the 2012 redistricting, most of the territory currently located in the 11th district had been located in New York's 13th congressional district, while the 11th district was located entirely in Brooklyn and had a majority African-American population. Most of the territory located within the old 11th district is now located in New York's 9th congressional district. The old 11th district was the subject of The Colbert Report's Better Know a District segment on December 15, 2005, and September 4, 2012.

January 2026 redistricting lawsuit

New York County judge Jeffrey Pearlman ruled that the map of New York's 11th congressional district is unconstitutional in mid-January 2026. The New York State's Independent Redistricting Commission will redraw the map by February 6, 2026 ; the New York State Legislature has to approve the new map. Areas of New York's 10th congressional district will be swapped to accomplish certifying the new map for NY-11. In October 2025, four Staten Island residents filed a lawsuit citing that the district lines prevent voters of color who are registered Democrats and vote Democrat living along the border of the district in Brooklyn and people living on Staten Island from electing Democrats or a candidate of color within NY-11.
