It seems like over the years, lower Manhattan, The Flushing area and The Williamsburg area lost the most companies. I know Flushing and North West Brooklyn are booming with people now, but was there a point where these neighborhoods had a much lower population than they did in say the 40's?

The population, atleast for the Williamsburg area mightve dropped after the War Years, but for Brooklyn as a whole I think its better to look at the amount of people on average served by a single company as opposed specific neighborhoods (looking at actual fire stats would be 100x better but im to lazy for all of that)

That period between 1973-1984 the population really dropped. I never realized this before. I know it was the war years likely causing people to leave due to being burnt out. Was the increase from 1984-2011 likely due to rebuilding these burnt out neighborhoods?

That probably was a big factor but alot of the construction for homes in Brooklyn didnt have a major increase until the 2000s, and it was nowhere what it was prior to the 70s.

From 1950-1959 there was 110k Homes Built
1960-1969 around 102k
1970-1979 it dropped to 53k
1980-1989 it dropped even farther to 34k
And in 1990-1999 it continued to drop to 31k

It wouldnt increase until 2000-2010, with 54k homes built, and from 2011-2019 with 67k homes built. Since 2020 there have only been around 6k homes built.

Although now that I look at the stats I wrote, that fully correlates to the population :ROFLMAO:

The 60-70’s entire neighborhoods throughout the city were laid to waste. Blocks and blocks that used to be packed with people were burned out and then leveled. Brick farms everywhere.
Mid 80’s the developers started moving in and building.
“Gentrification” was the bad buzz word. But the city turned around and everyone wanted to live here.
The mega building is still going on. Now the developers build as many huge apartment buildings as they can
