Community members watch, listen, voice their concerns and ask questions at Community Board 10’s
Health and Human Services committee meeting on Tuesday, June 18. The comments and questions
concerned a possible drug facility on East Tremont Avenue -- an idea that was shelved the next day.

An exclusive look at
mid-2019 Community
Board demographics
BY ALEX MITCHELL
The borough president’s
offi ce released a new report
regarding Bronx community
board demographics on
Wednesday, September 4.
The analysis measured
mostly the split between
boards’ male to female ratio
and whether or not members
were above or under
50 years of age in addition
to their primary civic interests
such as veteran status.
Belmont’s Community
Board 6 has the most women
serving in the Bronx with its
26 female members making
up a major percentage of the
38-person board while also
boasting the most military
veterans appointed to any
Bronx community board at
5. Meanwhile, Soundview’s
CB 9 boasts reciprocal numbers
as it has 20 men making
up 65 percent of its 31 total
board members.
Besides those two extremes,
many of the other
ten Bronx boards had relatively
even ratios as far as
gender is concerned.
Age diversity ranged
very wide in the borough
president’s data, though.
Many of the borough’s community
boards are made up
of residents over the age of
50, statistically speaking.
Only eight of the 40 active
members on Throggs
Neck’s CB 10 are under 50
according to the fi ndings,
while Morris Park’s CB 11
saw the same number of
under 50-year-olds within
its 44-person body and Eastchester’s
CB 12 has a similar
lopsided ratio with only
10 of its 46 members under
50.
Hunts Point’s CB 2 has 26
of its 34 members aged 50 or
older as well.
CB 9 is the only board to
see a majority of members
younger than 50 with a 16 to
15 person split between its
31 total board members.
Mosholu Parkway’s CB
7 also had a more even age
ratio with a 22 to 20 split of
members over and under
50-years-old.
The highest number of
board vacancies were found
in CB 2, 5, and 9, with each
having 13 open spots per
board as of Friday, August
23.
Throughout the summer
many of the boards slashed
vacancy numbers to nearly
half of what they were in
May.
Over the summer months
CB 9 fi lled 15 of its borough
high 28 vacancies while CB
6 fi lled 11 of its 20 openings.
CB 11 had the least vacancies
in the borough at
only two in August, adding
eight new members for its
ten openings.
“Word of mouth is an important
tool for recruiting
community board members.
Members of the borough
president’s staff, who interact
with residents and community
leaders throughout
the borough, encourage
them to consider applying
for community board membership,”
the report indicated.
CB 3 is still needs 11
members to complete is
ranks.
Community board appointments
and reappointments
are made at the
discretion of the borough
president in consultation
with the local City Council
members, explained the
borough president’s communications
director, John
DeSio.
“We have a long internal
process. In the end we make
the selections based on how
we believe people will represent
both our offi ce and
their respective communities,”
he said.
