New York City has experienced significant population declines in recent years, though the rate has slowed compared to earlier pandemic-related losses. In 2023, the city lost nearly 78,000 residents, shrinking its population to approximately 8.26 million, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates.
This marked a notable improvement from the previous year, when New York City lost more than 126,000 residents.
From April 2020 to July 2023, the city lost nearly 550,000 residents, representing a decline of over 6 percent of its population.
While the city's overall decline in 2023 accounted for about three-quarters of New York State’s total population loss of nearly 102,000, the trend shows signs of stabilization.
