The news about New York City's disappointing 2010 Census numbers<\/a> — disappointing at least to the politicians who want more to look after — overlooks New York County Census Tract 143, which, according to The Times' handy interactive 2010 Census Map<\/a>, posted some of the higher gains in the entire city — a full 38.9 percent change from 2000.<\/p>\n

Of course the 25 people in the census tract don't represent a huge block of residents in the larger scheme of things, but numbers are numbers, and that large deep blue swath on the interactive map should make boosters breathe a little easier.<\/p>\n

The only question to me will be What 25 people actually live in Central Park?<\/strong> Are there homeless encampments in the park or something? I didn't think that existed anymore. Are they counting the penguins in the zoo? Is Donald Trump squatting in the back room of one of the ice rinks?<\/p>\n

At the very least, someone should track down these residents — what a wonderful place to live! I'm sure a lot of people would want to hear more about it.<\/p>\n

The Census Tract 143 data from 2000<\/a> is interesting — of the 18 people living in the park, 12 were men and six were women. One person was between the ages of 10 and 14. There was one family and — unaccountably — three houses.<\/p>\n

Then there are the 14 people who live in Brooklyn's Census Tract 407 — otherwise known as the Brooklyn portion of Evergreen Cemetery<\/a>. Hrm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
