New York City Population Growth, 2000?2030

? New York City's enumerated population stood at over 8 million in 2000 and the Census Bureau estimates that there were over 8.2 million city residents in 2005.

? With over 200,000 residents added in the first half of this decade, the city is well on its way to a population in 2010 that we project at 8.4 million. For the year 2020, we project the city's population at 8.7 million, and at 9.1 million for 2030.

? Thus, between 2000 and 2030, the city's population is expected to increase by 1.1 million residents, or 13.9 percent.

? The growth rate between 2000 and 2030 is expected to be lower than that experienced in the 1980-2000 period, but it is sufficient to propel the city across the 9.1 million mark by 2030.

? The basic demographic processes that have defined New York since the 1950s will likely continue, with substantial outflows from the city offset by immigration and natural increase (the difference between births and deaths).

Borough Population Growth, 2000-2030

? While the city's projected 2030 population will be a new high, only two boroughs, Staten Island and Queens, will reach a new population peak in 2030.

? Staten Island's population, which reached 444,000 in 2000 and 475,000 in 2005, is projected to reach a new high of 552,000 in 2030. This translates into a 24.4 percent growth over 2000, the highest of any borough. However, growth in Staten Island is highest in the first five years of this decade and then declines substantially. The 2000-2005 period will have accounted for a disproportionate 30 percent of the overall growth of 108,000 between 2000-2030.

? Queens will increase 15.1 percent in the 30-year period, to 2.57 million in 2030, a new population peak. This compares with an estimated 2.26 million in 2005.

Staten Is.: 24.4

? Manhattan will see the second highest post-2000 growth, 18.8 percent, with its population projected to increase to 1.83 million in 2030, well below its peak population of 2.33 million in 1910. Manhattan's population was estimated at 1.61 million in 2005.

? Brooklyn will continue to be the most populous borough, adding another 10.3 percent after 2000 to achieve a population of 2.72 million in 2030, close to its 1950 historical high of 2.74 million. Brooklyn was estimated to have a population of 2.51 million in 2005.

? Although the Bronx will see the smallest growth during the 2000-2030 period (9.3 percent), its population is projected to reach 1.46 million in 2030, just under its 1970 historical high of 1.47 million. The Bronx's 2005 population estimate was 1.36 million.
