The three tables represent an extensive overview of population changes in New York City from 1800 to 2000, detailing both the total population of the city and the respective populations of its five major districts: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island.
Overall, the data illustrate a remarkable growith in population across all examined regions over the two centuries. Particularly, while New York City maintained a substantial overall population, growth in the number of Manhattan’s inhabitants constrasts starkly with the the significant increases in demographic growth of the other districts.
In 1800, New York City’s total population was recorded at nearly 79,200, rapidly escalating to 3,437,202 by 1900, and ultimately reaching to around 8,001,000 by the year 2000.
Manhattan, a financial center of New York City, initailly, had a substantial population of 60,515, constituting 76% of the city’s total. By 1900, this figure surged to just over 1,850,000 but subsequently declined to 1,538,096 by 2000, reflecting a notable reduction in its proportional contribution to the city’s population, down to 19%.
Conversely, ,the combined population of the remaining five boroughs saw an exponential increase, from just 18,701 in 1800 (accounting for 24% of the city’s population) to 1,587,109 in 1900, and finally reaching 6,471,089 in 2000, thus representing 81% of New York City’s populace at the century’s end.
