According to the Daily News, the Census Bureau estimates that Brooklyn’s population shot up dramatically in just over a year.

The borough’s population grew by 28,000 between April 2010 and July 2011, a 1.1 percent increase and the biggest jump in the city. “It’s probably a combination of some real growth and some errors that were corrected that took place in the 2010 census. We know there was an undercount,” Joseph Pereira, who tracks census data for the City University of New York, was quoted as saying.
