Kiryas Yoel & Lakewood Show Interesting Figures in New Census Figures

Kiryas Yoel & Lakewood Show Interesting Figures in New Census Figures

Tuesday's NY Times has a story about the�striking trends revealed in new census figures - that produce the most detailed snapshot of New York City neighborhoods and of the metropolitan area�s smaller cities and towns since the 2000 census.

YWN found the following two items mentioned�to be quite interesting:

"Underscoring the growing diversity of the suburbs, the survey found that the median age in Kiryas Joel in Orange County is just over 14 � making it the youngest community in the country with 20,000 or more people. The town�s youthfulness reflects the high birth rates of its Hasidic community.

Lakewood, N.J., an Orthodox Jewish enclave and home to one of the nation�s largest yeshivas, was in second place, with a median age of 20."
