Bed Stuy is the new home to about 20,000 people making their population in the area grow by 6%. But, as this was happening the number of blacks has dropped by 14.6 percent. Increased prices in neighborhoods such as Williamsburg, Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill and Park Slope are why Bed-Stuy has become such a popluar location.
