Speaking of the census, as you may recall, we conducted a mini census of our own a few weeks back regarding the blog and the neighborhood more generally.  For those who are interested, here are the results: 

• Who is visiting NP?
  • 88% are from Crown Heights,
  • 3% are from Bed-Stuy,
  • 3% from Prospect Heights, and
  • 8% are from elsewhere around the globe.
• What zip codes are representing?
  • 43% of respondents live in the 11216 zip code, followed by
  • 20% in the 11225,
  • 18% in 11238,
  • 8% in 11213, and
  • the rest from other zips.
• How long have readers lived in Crown Heights?
  • 48% are relatively new, only living in the neighborhood 0 – 4 years,
  • 30% have lived here more than 9 years,
  • 18% have lived here 4 – 9 years, and
  • the question was not applicable to the rest.
• How often do readers visit NP?
  • 45% visit once a week,
  • 25% visit 2 – 3 times per week,
  • 18% visit everyday, and
  • 10% rarely if ever visit.
• People visit NP because…
  • 50% visit to learn about Crown Heights,
  • 21% visit to learn about local businesses and restaurants,
  • 17% visit to learn about what’s happening around Brooklyn, and
  • 3% visit for other reasons.

Some may notice that the results of three of the more intriguing questions,“What do you like least about Crown Heights?”  “What do you like most about Crown Heights?” and “What do you consider part of Crown Heights’ identity as a neighborhood?” are left off.  In part because we want to build up suspense, and in part because we are a small volunteer staff of contributors and this is an easy way to stretch content over a couple of days we will post those results in the coming days.   Stay tuned!
