New York City's population grew to a high of 8,175,100 over the past decade, according to the U.S. Census count released Tuesday—but the 2.1% bump was still far smaller than officials had anticipated.
A 2009 federal survey of New York and the rest of the nation predicted the Census would reflect a 4.8% jump in the city's population.
Queens, in particular, was a sore point for officials. The Census tally there showed the borough added a paltry 1,300 people.
"The Census says that we have added 166,000-odd people since the 2000 count, but we are concerned that there's been a significant undercount," the mayor said. "When three boroughs go up dramatically, and the two most populous boroughs don't, something is wrong."
...Overall, Brooklyn remained the city's most populous borough, growing by 39,300 people, a 1.6% increase. The Bronx led the city in growth with 52,400 new residents, a jump of 3.9%. Manhattan's population grew by 48,700, a 3.2% increase, and Staten Island added 25,000, a 5.6% jump.
