Survey reveals facts on Brooklyn’s population
Brooklyn has a fairly stable population, not too young, not too old – but varying greatly in ethnic background.
One can reach these conclusions by reading reports from the Census Bureau’s recently released American Community Survey, which is now online. The survey is organized by congressional district (C.D.), of which Brooklyn has six.
Of these six, two are completely in Brooklyn – Rep. Hakeem Jeffries’ 8th C.D. in the central and southeasten part of the borough and Rep. Yvette Clarke’s 9th C.D., which stretches from Crown Heights south to Sheepshead Bay. Rep. Nydia Velazquez’s 7th C.D. is mainly in western and northern Brooklyn, but has Manhattan’s Lower East Side and a small area of Ridgewood, Queens.
