Rhode Island has a large number of residents from the Caribbean, particularly the Dominican Republic. This DR group makes up an estimated 5% of the state's population which is the highest for any state. They mostly live in the urban core which includes Providence, Pawtucket, Central Falls, and Cranston. RI also has a large concentration of Liberians that fled the nation during its civil wars. Most of these settled in the neighboring cities of Providence and Pawtucket.

Boston is so Cape Verdean Mayor Marty Walsh went to Cape Verde and he was given a street to name on the Island of Fogo. There is now a "Boston Street" in the West African nation of Cape Verde.
The US Northeast (oddly excluding Maryland) has the vast majority of the Ricans and Dominicans. The Cuban American population is mostly white, unlike island Cubans. They are heavy in Miami.
Maryland isn't the northeast technically... and practically it's a mix of southern (Western Maryland/Southern Maryland and Eastern Shore) and northern (Central Maryland/DMV, Baltimore and points North/Northeast of Baltimore).

Demographically, Maryland definitely resembles the South (one of the largest African American population in the country, in urban, suburban, and rural areas; white population is mostly British/German/Irish/American and more Protestant than the Northeast; Hispanic populations are newer and being dominated by Central Americans and Mexicans).
Hartford should probably go at #5 above North Jersey actually..
