CUNY's Graduate Center For Urban Research Mapping Service researched where the New York City's voters who couldn't vote live.
The Center for Urban Research compared the voter registration lists provided by the City's Board of Elections from March 2015 and March 2016 in order to map the change in registered voters by neighborhood.
Change in voter enrollment by Borough, 2015-2016:
Bronx - Dropped = 60,917, Added = 37,156, Net Change = -23,761, 10.0% of City Change
Brooklyn - Dropped = 206,366, Added = 67,271, Net Change = -139,095, 58.7% of City Change
Manhattan - Dropped = 110,970, Added = 58,494, Net Change = -52,476, 22.1% of City Change
Queens - Dropped = 71,248, Added = 53,263, Net Change = -17,985, 22.1% of City Change
Staten Island - Dropped = 13,245, Added = 9,574, Net Change = -3,671, 7.6% of City Change
NYC - Dropped = 462,746, Added = 225,758, Net Change = -236,988, 100% of City Change

The map reveals that these changes were uneven across the city. Citywide there was a net decrease of 5.7%. The lightest shade of purple on the map indicates the neighborhoods with a net loss of 5.7% or less: virtually every neighborhood in Queens, the Bronx, and on Staten Island. There were even increases in some neighborhoods in Queens and on Staten Island, shown in green on the map.
