Debunking The ‘Hipsters Hate The Census’ Myth
Many of you may have heard or read the delightful NPR piece about the low census return rates in Williamsburg, New York's hipster enclave of choice. It featured excellent quotes such as “I mean people would do it if they got like five bucks,” but it was also sort of wrong! An examination of the Census map shows the lowest return rates come from the Hasidic areas and the empty areas of Billyburg. Not that the 3 dudes from the record store weren't idiots, but NPR, stick to the nerdy stuff.

Hate to break it to you but looking at that map now - NPR was right now - all the tracts with large hispanic populations - ie southside and Broadway are at 70% while Northside and the carpetbagger regions are just as bad as the jewish areas around 50%.

Wow thanks for noting what was already a prominent part of the npr segment. You should not be so arrogant to defend your stylized apathetic culture when it is being shown as just apathetic.

It appears the government is taking it out on the rest of Brooklyn. I've received three census packets in the last two weeks.
