Board 11 worries Census will undercount Bensonhurst-Bath Beach
Brooklyn’s Community Board 11 is home to more than 204,000 residents, making the Bensonhurst-Bath Beach area one of the most densely populated parts of the borough, according to board officials.
But Board 11 officials said they’re growing increasingly concerned that a large number of those residents won’t be counted in the 2020 Census and that the community will lose out on vital government services as a result.
That’s why an effort is already underway to convince residents to fill out Census forms to ensure that everyone is counted, even though the nation’s official count of its population won’t take place until next year, said CB11 District Manager Marnee Elias-Pavia.
