Brooklyn leads city’s population growth
More people are moving to New York City than are moving out for the first time since before 1950, according to the latest U.S. Census Bureau estimates released Thursday.
While each of the five boroughs registered gains in population, the largest percentage change occurred in Brooklyn, where the population grew by 2.4 percent, or 60,900 people.
This was followed by Manhattan (2.1 percent, or 33,200 people); Queens (1.9 percent, or 42,000 people); the Bronx (1.7 percent, or 23,400 people); and Staten Island (0.4 percent, or 2,000 people).
