The site above has proven to be more helpful than wikipedia.com, to my great amazement. I have gained lots of knowledge about my very own neighborhood, in which i have been living for around three years and which until this point i was like unfamiliar with. This site first gives out a general overview of the neighborhoods demographic statistics. It does not provide complex texts, or specified stories at all, it is instead very direct to the point. With this site, I came to find that the current population of the neighborhood as for 2007 is now about 23,128 people, a much larger number of what I was expecting. Other information provided is the mean average cost of a house, which is reported to be around $ 442,000. This would imply that the prices of these houses are relevantly cheap compared to other house prices in New York neighborhoods, which can even go up and pass the million. Another very intriguing fact that was given out in this page was ethnicity percentage as for 2007, "36.03% of people are white, 8.45% are black, 16.01% are asian, 1.03% are native american, and 38.47% claim 'Other'." this is a line extracted from this article.
