Yes. The goal of the once a decade US Census are to count ALL persons presently residing in the United States, legal or otherwise. The limitations to accurately counting said illegals to the furthest possible extent is discussed above.

Census Bureau will release county population estimates on March 22. Sometimes the population numbers leak in the media before hand so keep a watch out.

Here is a tally of the friendly guesses on what the 2015 population estimate for NYC will be. Let's play a game and see who gets closes to the real numbers.

Busy Bee   8,522,590
CIA        8,540,643
chris08876 8,563,000
Agent 007  8,888,888 :)

Any other takers?

Just for fun, adding Hudson County, the 6th Borough, to the list.

In 2014, the population was estimated to be 669,115. I'm going to say a flat 680,000.

[chris08876]

I'd take a wager on 684,500 for Hudson County to account for the higher then usual growth.

I'm really looking forward to the statistics because if we see a 60,000 plus increase for NYC in one year, that's on par with the 40/50's.

I think in order of fastest growing:

Brooklyn > Queens > Bronx > Manhattan > Taiwan (Hudson County) > Staten Island

Probally in the next few years, I could see Queens being number one and Brooklyn becoming third as the Bronx is set for a massive boom. The units in the pipeline is quite large. Especially with numerous parcels being bought along the S.Bronx where plans for developments containing 2000+ units on average are planned. Also an uptick in highrise and mid rise construction for the Bronx.

I just got home from a run and I went through the Queens Plaza/Downtown LIC area and words cannot express how incredible the amount of residential construction is there. Literally every empty corner for a 1/2 mile radius has a high-rise going up. It felt like I was running through Hudson Yards. Parts of Flushing look nearly the same. Queens is clearly booming.

[dc_denizen]

yes the days of citibank building sticking out like a sore thumb in Queens are long gone.

Hudson Yards, Jersey City, downtown brooklyn/BAM, LIC/Court square, 57th street...plus the turnaround of lower Manhattan....

hell even Newark is building again.

what an era for New York.

Queens could surpass Brooklyn in the future, since their populations are similar, with Queens being much larger in area. But I don't think it will happen, if it happens, soon, that would take several years. So far, both have similar growth rates, although since 2000 Brooklyn has had a higher growth rate than Queens, but during the 1990's Queens had a great surge in population that could repeat in the next years.

But The Bronx surpassing Brooklyn is veeeeryyyy improbable to happen. The Bronx is way smaller than Brooklyn, so in order to surpass it, The Bronx would need a very high density. Right now the densities in both boroughs are similar with Brooklyn slightly higher at 14,182 sq.km 7/ 36,732 sq.mi vs 13,221 sq.km / 34,242 sq.mi for the Bronx.
In order to have the same population Brooklyn had in 2014, the Bronx woould need a density of 24000 sq.km / 62000 sq.mi that would be similar as that of Manhattan 27,673 sq.km / 71,672 sq.mi

The Bronx could surpass Manhattan though, demoting the island to the fourth place. But if that happens, it would take decades to.

Well it's 3/22

Theres an embargo period. For the media and such. Results will be available the 24th for the public outside of certain agencies or fields. According to the census, it was released at 10 am today EST. I tried to make an account just now... but it said this:

Media | SDC, CIC, FSCPE | Regional Offices

[Busy Bee]

Yeah I thought about registering a phony ID but figured it probably wouldn't work. I guess we'll just have to wait. With a terrorist attack, Cuba and Primary day the media might not pick up on it for a while.

Mr. President, end this embargo!

On the positive side some podunk news organization will accidentally break the embargo. It always happens. Failing that, a US Senator or Mayor have let it slip in the past...

Damn... when I saw that someone had just posted in this thread I thought for sure the numbers had been leaked or something. Don't post unless ya got info!

As always some news organization accidentally broke embargo. This time it's the Times Union of some place in upstate NY.

http://www.timesunion.com/local/arti...rs-7004329.php

Immigrants helped make the Capital Region the only upstate metropolitan area to see population growth in the past year, according to 2015 estimates released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The population increase between July 1, 2014 and July 1, 2015 in Albany, Rensselaer and Saratoga counties was a bright spot beyond downstate New York.

"It's growth is due to job opportunities," said Rocco Ferraro, executive director of the Capital District Regional Planning Commission. Global Foundries and other technology firms are boosting the Capital Region.
The Albany-Schenectady-Troy Metropolitan Area grew in the past year to 881,830 residents. The other five upstate metro regions had population declines.

Upstate uptick

The Capital Region has outpaced the rest of upstate New York in population growth since 2010. It has attracted more newcomers than any other upstate metropolitan area and is the only region to gain residents.

No leak in the embargo for NYC. Impressive!

674,836 for Hudson, 5,334 increase.

^^^^^

CIA, your teasing us. How about the city!

Well, great news for Hudson. Technically its part of NYC. The Taiwan of NYC. We all know where it belongs.

Bronx 1,455,444 13,687 0.95
Brooklyn 2,636,735 16,015 0.61
Manhattan 1,644,518 7,552 0.46
Staten Island 474,558 1,257 0.27
Queens 2,339,150 16,700 0.72


NYC 2015 total 8,550,405

NEW YORK | 2010 Census data | 8,175,133 City (8,550,405 - 2015)

My guess was also closest without going over.

Five years to go and we're 502 people below the 2020 population forecast by the city. They may need to revise their numbers UP!

Look how these bastards spinned it. NYC can't keep a high growth rate in perpetuity. Of course it will slow as developable area becomes harder and harder to find.

NYC growth slows, upstate loses people in latest US census

By MICHAEL HILL - Associated Press - 12:04 a.m., Thursday, March 24, 2016
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - New York City’s growth rate slowed last year but still offset upstate losses as the state’s population nudged higher, according to census figures released Thursday.

The latest annual estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show the city adding 55,211 people in the year before July 2015, for a population of 8.55 million. The city-wide growth rate of 0.6 percent last year was the lowest this decade, according to an analysis of the estimates by Jan Vink of Cornell University’s Program on Applied Demographics.

In contrast, upstate New York lost 16,596 people over the year, a 0.24 percent decrease. Only six of 52 upstate counties added people over the year, all growing less than 1 percent.

[C.]

In other news, Chicago's Cook County loss 10,488 residents, a 0.2% decline in 2015. That's big news. I hope that's an outlier and the trend remains positive.
