Isnt Coney Island ave considered ditmas or Kensington? It doesn’t go through Flatbush proper. Ocean ave also in my opinion is the ditmas side.

Coney Island Ave is the border, and Ditmas Park is part of Flatbush

If you take away Ditmas Park, Prospect Park South, and PLG, there's not much left of Flatbush

The Chinese are quickly making Bensonhurst the next big Chinatown. it's affordable by Brooklyn standards, and given the amount of houses there they can have large families live there under one roof or rent out parts of it.

Does Bensonhurst have as many multi-family homes as Sunset Park? I don't recall that being the case. In any event, much of this talk is for naught as the link is bad and I have seen nothing else to support the claim that Bensonhurst has the largest Chinese population.

Don't get me wrong. I don't deny that Bensonhurst has a large Chinese population. I just am skeptical that they have more people than Sunset Park.

Edit: a workable link appears to have been loaded a few posts before mine and I am going through it now. On second thought (and this point escaped me earlier), the article is about immigrant population as opposed to ethnic population. Thus, I could believe that Bensonhurst has the largest Chinese immigrant population in NYC. What I wouldn't believe (and this isn't what the report claims) is that Bensonhurst has the largest Chinese population (period) of any NYC neighborhood.

You're not in Flatbush like that then

Church Avenue west of Flatbush is where the Mexicans are centered now

They don’t need to include Sunset Park. Bensonhurst is clearly run by Chinese now.

Dyker Heights still seems to be vastly Italian though!
