More than 350,000 people left NY during the pandemic, but there's no consensus why
The population decline, first reported in December, is the largest number of people moving out of the state since New York City’s fiscal crisis in the 1970s.

New York lost a record number of people to outmigration — over 350,000 during the pandemic. While the numbers, supplied by the U.S. Census Bureau, are not in question, the reasons for what’s come to be known as the exodus from the state remain in dispute.
The population decline, first reported in December, is the largest number of people moving out of the state since New York City’s fiscal crisis in the 1970s. It comes on top of a steady decline in population compared to other states, and will result in New York losing another congressional seat when the new districts are designed later this winter.
Gov. Kathy Hochul, in her State of the State message on Jan. 5, expressed concern.
“That’s the steepest population drop of any state in the nation,” said Hochul, who called it “an alarm bell that cannot be ignored.”
Hochul said the array of new programs she is proposing in her budget will draw some New Yorkers back, including money to combat gun violence and reduce homelessness, subsidies for child care, and a $2 billion property tax rebate.

Reuters) -Millions of people have moved out of New York City during the pandemic, but at the same time, millions of others with lower incomes have taken their place, according to a study released on Tuesday.
All told, a net 70,000 people left the metropolitan region this year, resulting in roughly $34 billion in lost income, according to estimates from Unacast here, a location analytics company.
About 3.57 million people left New York City this year between Jan. 1 and Dec. 7, according to Unacast, which analyzed anonymized cell phone location data. Some 3.5 million people earning lower average incomes moved into the city during that same period, the report showed.
“The exodus isn’t as big as people have been talking about,” said Thomas Walle, chief executive and co-founder of Unacast. “Maybe the greater impact is how the population is changing and how the demographics are changing.”
In Tribeca, a wealthy neighborhood in downtown Manhattan, residents who left this year earned an average income of about $140,000, Walle said. The typical person moving into the neighborhood earned an average $82,000, he said.

I believe many illegal aliens will head for New York City. You say there is no room left in New York City. If I am right you will end up really overcrowded. Plus some if not most of these illegals owe money to the drug cartels and some will have to work for the cartels to pay their debt off.

After promising on the campaign trail to keep New York City as a sanctuary city for illegal aliens rife with social benefits, Mayor Eric Adams (D) is now warning that a recent influx of illegal immigrantswill impact every block and the daily way of life throughout the Big Apple.
In 2021, then-candidate Adams told voters that he “would make sure” that “undocumented New Yorkers are being given the support they need, so that their families no longer live in the shadows of the American dream, but are part of that dream.” Now that more of those individuals have arrived in New York City, the Democratic mayor is imploring help from all New Yorkers to keep that promise alive while stating they will be a “burden” on the system.
“If there was ever an all-hands-on-deck moment, this is it. This is it,” Adams said on Sunday. “Our system … was inundated with … you know, those who were seeking shelter because of the callousness of those other states that pushed them out. We’re here. We’re receiving them and everyone is going to have to be on board and we can’t have of the historical, ‘I believe people should be housed but just don’t house them on my block.’”
The mayor also stated that the rising number of illegal immigrants would strain New York City’s safety net.
“Everyone’s block is going to be impacted by this and so we have to add our advocacy with our ability to help our neighbors and we need everyone on board with this, you know? Because as I stated last week, our schools are going to be impacted, our health care system is going to be impacted, our infrastructure is going to be impacted but we’re willing to do our job and we’re going to do our job and we’re going to need all New Yorkers to be with us on this.”
