NEW YORK (VINnews) — Data from the 2020 Census Bureau which have just been released show B’H a significant increase over the previous 2010 Census in the number of people in the major religious Jewish communities in the Northeast of the United States.

The data included a sharp increase of 45% in the population of Lakewood, N.J. which has risen from 92,843 to 135,138 people in the past decade, making it the state’s fifth-largest city.
Figures from the census released Thursday show that Kiryas Joel, N.Y grew by a booming 63% in the last decade, pushing its population past that of the nearby cities of Middletown and Newburgh and of towns much larger than the 1.5-square-mile Hasidic village, which has risen from a few dozen families in the 1970’s to over 33,000 people B’H. More than 3,500 condominiums are being built or planned in the village’s limited remaining space to help meet the constant housing demand.
The census data for Monsey and Spring Valley show a growth from 49,710 in 2010 to a current population of 60,020, a rise of over 20% in the last decade B’H.
Brooklyn’s population increased by over 230,000 people in the past decade, marking the biggest increase of any borough in New York City, and far outpacing expectations, according to the newly released data.
The current census will be used by local government to determine where to build everything from schools to supermarkets, and from homes to hospitals. The census assists government decisions on how to allocate funds and assistance to states and localities.
To say that the population from Monsey and Spring Valley grew by 11,000 people in 10 years is ludicrous.
There was certainly a 50%+ increase if not more…

when the same thing happedned in mitzrayim it was the start of the shibud mitzrayim.
how is that for a “simon la bonim”?
I am BH proud to have been a Census Enumerator (that’s the fancy name they gave us census takers) in Boro Park in September 2020. Being one of the only frum census takers in B.P., I was able to increase the response rate of those that didn’t already mail in or submit online the survey from 15% to over 95% (Supervisor told me I had the highest response rate of any city census taker). Too bad they ended the census when they did (in middle of the Yomim Tovim).
Oh I thought Brooklyn is emptying out and everybody is moving to Florida…
And still the democratic machine will shaft the Jews because we vote for them and they know we won’t challenge them
B”H, good to see the expansion of the frum yidden. Jerusalem is built up now nice and fancy. Now all we need is Moshiach.
Yeah. In Democrat run bastions.
What they don’t mention, at least not in so many words, that is is the frum population that is rapidly increasing, while secularconservativereform is just as rapidly disappearing.
Is VINNEWS (not the AP) trying to imply something by posting an article about how bad the coronavirus is in the northeast and immediately posting another article about how Jewish communities in the northeast have seen a major increase in population?
This is why we must participate in elections . Our voice matters. In reality Lakewood grew by like 200%. We could have done more
We have to get our youth married younger. This way we could outpace the liberal democRATs
