In New York City, most wild squirrels are medium gray but a minority are
black.  Most NYC places with squirrels have the gray ones but seem to have
few or no black ones.  On the lower East side of Manhattan, there are two,
adjacent, privately owned, housing projects:  Peter Cooper Village and
Stuyvesant Town.  There is a high percentage of black squirrels on the
grounds of those two, adjacent projects.

Why is it that there is only one squirrel neighborhood in NYC with a high
percentage of black squirrels?  Coincidence?
