Summary
| Description |
According to the latest statistics from the civil organization United Jewish Appeal ( UJA ), in Williamsburg 75,000 ultra-Orthodox Jews live. Across New York, about 1.1 million Jews live, of which 30% are ultra-Orthodox . Like many ultra-Orthodox communities in Israel, the Williamsburg is seriously beset by poverty. The combination of a high birth rate with low household income brings to this neighborhood a poverty rate of 55%, and almost poverty of about 17%, according to the UJA . Despite the scale of the figures, there is little crime. People are poor but have middle-class value, says Professor Heilman: "There are only problems when there is tension within the community or with people outside of it." En Williamsburg viven cerca de 75.000 judíos ultraortodoxos, según las últimas estadísticas de la organización civil United Jewish Appeal (UJA). En todo Nueva York, habitan 1,1 millones de judíos, de los cuales un 30% son ultraortodoxos. Y como muchas comunidades ultraortodoxas en Israel, la de Williamsburg está gravemente acuciada por la pobreza. La combinación de una alta tasa de natalidad con unos bajos ingresos en los hogares concede al barrio unos índices de pobreza del 55% y de casi pobreza del 17%, según la UJA. Pese a la magnitud de las cifras, supone una excepción dentro del prototipo de las zonas más depauperadas de Nueva York que reciben ayudas públicas. “El Gobierno les atorga subsidios a la vivienda pero en Williamsburg, a diferencia de los otros barrios donde también lo hace, esto no supone que no se pueda vivir allí porque haya una elevada inseguridad. Hay pocos delitos, la gente es pobre pero tiene valores de clase media”, sostiene el profesor Heilman. “Solo hay problemas cuando hay tensión en el seno de la comunidad o con gente de fuera de ella”.
