The neighborhood is semiofficially defined to include a large swath of north-central Brooklyn—some 200 square blocks, bordered by the neighborhoods of Bedford-Stuyvesant to the north, East Flatbush to the south, Brownsville to the east, and Prospect Heights to the west. This area is home to approximately 200,000 residents (according to 2000 census data), roughly 65% of whom are Afro-Caribbean immigrants and their families, while about 15% are African American, about 9% are Hispanic, and about 9% are White—a White minority made up largely of Hasidic Jews.
