Gosh, NY Post why do you think that is? Because poor people get crushed financially first? And then wealthy swoop and pick up the deals?

Is there another paper in the world that hates its namesake city as much as the Post?

If the census numbers are accurate, how is this "hateful"? Should we just shrug? Should we not care? Or should we ask ourselves why people are leaving and try to come up with ways to ensure that it doesn't happen?

No one who takes the post seriously is also serious about actual solutions to any of this.

That’s a big if for the accuracy of the census numbers. Prior to 2020, I assume they used the same or similar methodology for estimating population flows. When the 2020 census was done, where someone actually is knocking on doors and every household is filling out paperwork they had clearly undercounted for years.

I’m sorry you’re getting downvoted. On a math level, this is probably a significant factor as the average housing occupancy is higher the lower the household income.

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.
