The table illustrates how the population of New York City changes, and the other two tables display data for five districts of the city in percentages between 1800 and 2000.
Overall, the number of people in New York increased dramatically. While four regions such as Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island show growth in the percentage of the total population, Manhattan’s population dropped in rate.
In 1800, Manhattan had 76 percent of the total population, while the other four districts had only a quarter. In 1900, the population of Manhattan rose in number but decreased in percentage of the total to 54%. The other districts by this year reached 46%, which is half of the total population. By the way, the total population of New York reached approximately 3.5 million.
In 2000, Manhattan’s population dropped significantly by around 30%; now it is only roughly one-fifth of the total. The other four regions increased in number five times and peaked at 81%, which is the largest figure. The total number of people reached its maximum of 8 million; it is 100 times more than it was in 1800.
