2023: New York City's population declined by 78,000 to 8.26 million, down from 8.8 million in 2020.
New York City's population declined by 78,000 in 2023, lowering the total population to 8.26 million people and down from a record 8.8 million reported in early 2020. New York City has lost over half a million residents since April 2020. City officials are challenging the 2023 census estimates, arguing that they significantly underestimated the number of migrants and other people living in group settings, such as shelters and dorms. The city had reached a record 8.8 million residents in early 2020.
