The tables present data on the total population of New York City across three years — 1800, 1900 and 2000 — as well as a breakdown of population figures for Manhattan and the other districts, along with their proportion of the total population in each of those years.
Overall, it is clear that the the population of New York City experienced a significant rise throughout the two centuries. Additionally, while Manhattan was the most populated district in 1800 and 1900, its population declined since by 2000, which led to other districts becoming more prominent.
According to the table graphs, in 1800 New York City had only 79,216 dwellers, with nearly all of it 96% concentrated in Manhattan. By 1900, the city’s population had surged to about 3.4 million, with Manhattan bearing about half of it or 1.85 million. By the that time Finally, in 21st century the total population had a boom to 8 million. However, Manhattan experienced a slight decline by 300,000 people, making it to have only 19% of the total population.
Focusing on other districts, the population of all four areas (Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Staten Is.) was only about 18 thousand or 24% of New York’s total population in 1800. While, in the next century this figure experienced a dramatic growth to approximately 1.5 million or 46% of total population.
Finally, in 2000 year the actual number of dwellers in four districts reached a peak of 6.4 million, making it to have almost all population or 81%.
