Generally Speaking: Beckmann gives annual State of the District report
Local elected officials and many area residents often refer to Bay Ridge as a “small town in the big city.” The “town” is actually part of Community District 10 which also includes the neighborhoods of Fort Hamilton and Dyker Heights.
Both the southern and eastern boundaries of the district stretch to the shorefront along the Narrows, with the northern border edging along the 65th Street railroad cut and the western side stopping at 14th Avenue.
Collectively, this district has an approximate population of 122,600, comparable to the city of Athens, Georgia. Doing some research, we were also surprised to learn the district has a larger population than all of the individual cities and towns in eight states!
