Population Demographics
The figures indicated below are derived from the 1990 Census
of Population and Housing: Summary Popula tion
and Housing Characteristics, New York
(1990 CPH-1-34), published by the U.S. Department of Commerce,
Economics and Statistics Administration, Bureau of the Census:
Census 1990. The census figures are stated to hold for April 1990.
At that date, Brookhaven County Subdivision Place (Brookhaven CDP)
Brookhaven and South Haven effectively -- was said to have had a
population of 3,118. Based on these figures, the Long Island
Lighting Company projected a population of 3,137 as of January 1,
1994, i.e., an increase of 0.6% or 19 people.2
The boundaries of the Brookhaven CDP as stated by the New York
Regional Bureau of the Census (by telephone communication) are the
following:
North: Sunrise Highway
East: Carmans River
South: Great South Bay
West: Bellhaven Road north to Beaver Dam; west to Bellport
Avenue, north to Sunrise Highway.
The total square mileage of the Brookhaven CDP land area as
reported in the Census Bureau statistics is given as 6 square miles.
This effectively includes all of South Haven south of Sunrise on the
east and parts of "greater Brookhaven" to the west. Following the
boundaries agreed to in this study, the difference between the
Census Bureaus calculations (and those of LILCO) and ours would be
approximately 0.9 square mile, resulting in a Brookhaven Hamlet of
approximately 5.1 square miles in area. What is excluded from the
BVAs determination would be that area between Belleview Avenue and
Bellhaven Road, west to Bellport Avenue, north to Sunrise Highway,
east to Arthur Avenue, south to Beaver Dam Road, west to Belleview,
roughly 0.9 square mile.
Population as per LILCO estimate (as of January 1, 1994):
| Brookhaven |
3,167 |
| North Bellport |
8,426 |
| Yaphank |
3,800 |
| Shirley |
23,958 |
