Maybe you should read the part of the article that talks about possible reasons for the demographic change

I read it. I live here. That's how I know it's based on old info too. Since the last census, the population has EXPLODED with foreigners. My neighborhood is booked solid with new folks.

The article is about what happened in 2022. The last census took place in 2020.

The data is skewed. It only counts "foreign" or "international" arrivals. THAT'S typical of Post reporting.

The data is not skewed. It's literally from the census.

Numbers are numbers. I don't fault that. For the Post say "foreign" or "international" arrivals sounds like it's missing people from other states. I fault the Post for that bs spin they put on it. The Post skewed it.

It's not spin. The point is that NYC is always losing population to domestic out-migration. Usually that population is replenished by immigrants.

But it has not been.
