Boro Park

Borough Park (usually spelled Boro Park by its residents), is a neighborhood in the southwestern part of the borough of Brooklyn, in New York City in the United States.

Borough Park is home to one of the largest Orthodox Jewish communities outside of Israel, with one of the largest concentrations of Jews in the United States and Orthodox traditions rivaling many insular communities.  Since the average number of children in Hasidic and Hareidi families is 6.72, Borough Park is experiencing sharp growth.

Its heart lies between 10th and 18th Avenues and 40th and 60th Streets. Borough Park has expanded significantly in the last few decades as Jewish families moved into adjoining neighborhoods, creating borders as far as 9th to 22nd Avenues between 36th and 60th streets.  Borough Park is patrolled by the NYPD's 66th Precinct.
