The first table given illustrates changes in the population of New York City between 1800 and 2000. The other two tables depict how population had changed in the five areas of the city in the time period.
Overall, the population of New York as a whole had risen significantly over the course of 200 years. Manhattan used to have the biggest share of the population in the beginning of the period, but declined over the years. Other four districts had the lesser share initially, despite having the most residents in the end.
New York City had around 80 000 citizens across all five areas in the year 1800. In two centuries its populations had plummeted to approximately 8 million at the end of the period, with the biggest increase happening from 1900 to 2000, when the population doubled in number, changing from roughly 3,5 to 8 million.
Furthermore, Manhattan in the year 1800 had the biggest percentage of New York residents living there throughout all years, with the share being around 80%. However, Manhattan began to lose its share, dropping to 20% over the end of the period. The other four districts, on the other hand, had shown a completely different trend, with their population percentage having gone from 24% to 81% from the year 1800 to 2000, respectively.
