From the Director Center for The
Gretchen Maneval, Center for the Study of Brooklyn
Brooklyn is a vibrant and diverse borough, with over 2,550,000 people calling it home. The 4th largest city in the United States if it were not part Study of Brooklyn
of New York City, Brooklyn’s population is greater than Boston, Indianapolis and San Francisco combined. Brooklynites come from more than
130 countries, speak nearly 90 languages, and represent over 180 ethnicities. Brooklyn’s 18 Community Districts include over 70 Staff
neighborhoods, and still more communities within those neighborhoods.
Director
It’s imperative that such a densely populated and dynamic city has ready access to timely, accurate and neighborhood-level data. Brooklyn- Gretchen Maneval
based community groups and institutions, local government and businesses, and researchers and media deserve to be equipped with such data
in order to make the most informed public policy, programming and funding decisions possible. As the only research center devoted exclusively Senior Research Associate
to the study of public affairs in the borough, the Center for the Study of Brooklyn at Brooklyn College provides access to and produces critically Lorna Mason
relevant data and research about Brooklyn, and facilitates strategic planning initiatives and community needs assessments, for and with our
community partners. Research Associate
Edward Morlock
Each of the Center’s 19 new Brooklyn Neighborhood Reports- one for each of the borough’s 18 Community Districts, and one for all of Brooklyn-
include over 90 indicators that explore 9 different theme areas. The data are presented in clear and concise visuals and text. Accompanying Research Associate
Data Tables provide even greater detail, as do the Data Notes. More in-depth analysis of each of the 9 theme areas will also be included in the Christina Pisano
Center’s forthcoming Brooklyn Trends Report, to be released in 2012.
As we can see from the Brooklyn Neighborhood Reports, in recent years, much of the borough has been booming. Many indicators for Advisory Board
Brooklyn as a whole show that we’re doing relatively well compared with ten and twenty years ago. However, in order to have the most accurate
Willard Archie
understanding of Brooklyn’s trends and needs, it’s essential that we look beyond the borough-wide numbers and consider what the data at the
Community District level reveal. At this smaller scale, differences among indicators for various Community Districts emerge, such as those for
Brooklyn College Alumnus
educational attainment, employment and income, and housing affordability. Environmental, health and public safety conditions vary as well. Joan Bartolomeo
Opportunities to participate in arts and culture, and to engage civically, also differ between neighborhoods. In other words, disparities among Brooklyn Economic Development Corporation
Brooklyn’s many communities exist, and there is change to be made.

Information is power. Information empowers. As the community foundation for Brooklyn, in addition to funding the best programs and ideas Christobal Jacques
serving our borough, we are seeding projects that generate essential information to educate our 2.5 million residents about key issues and Brooklyn District Public Health Office,
challenges in Brooklyn’s neighborhoods. The Center for the Study of Brooklyn is our information and research partner in this pursuit, gathering NYC Dept. of Health and Mental Hygiene
critical data, examining it closely, and sharing it with our residents, our businesses, our non-profit leaders, and our public sector officials to use Stuart P. Leffler
as a tool for informed decision-making.

The Brooklyn Neighborhood Reports create a profile of the civic health of the borough and its 18 Community Districts; it is an incredibly valuable Jerrold Mirotznik
new resource for Brooklynites to measure quality of life in the place they call home. As we analyze the indicators of civic health in Brooklyn, we Brooklyn College
can begin to identify trends, both encouraging and alarming, that are shaping our borough’s growth and development. This will not only inform Mohammad Razvi
the Foundation’s grantmaking, but empower our donors and our residents to take on local challenges and create positive change from the
Council of Peoples Organization
ground up. We encourage you to utilize these Reports to their fullest, to help you to Do Good Right Here.
