Despite news that the city's 2010 census results may have been slightly botched, there is now data [pdf] to support the notion that Park Slope is whiter than a Saltine marshmallow sandwich. F'd In Park Slope crunches the numbers to determine that "while the city overall saw a 2.8% decline in white residents, in Park Slope whities now account for 66% of the local populace." So whatever the opposite of "white flight" is (Cycle Bar-ization? Strollerfication?) that seems to be what's going down. Does this mean that public school class photos like these are a thing of the past?
There are now 34% less Latinos and and 29% less blacks in the neighborhood, but the asian population rose by 13%. A few commenters on the piece bemoan the "Yuppie invasion," but "Jorge" keeps things in perspective: "compared to 99% of this nation, this is still an amazingly diverse neighborhood to live in…these stats don't bug me. i've got my eyes that say otherwise."
