I made the lengthy calculation for NYC based on the 2010 census some years ago, using data at a detailed level (villages, CDPs).

At the 2010 census, there were 11,316,885 people in 1571.95 km² for New York.

I haven't done it for the 2020 census. The US Census Bureau's website has become extremely user-UNfriendly. It's almost like they do it on purpose.

If you want to check the 2020 figures, this 1571.95 km² territory is made up of (but the borders of villages, CDPs, etc may have changed since 2010):
New York County

On Long Island:
Kings County
Queens County
Great Neck Plaza village
South Floral Park village
Bellerose Terrace CDP
Hempstead village
Williston Park village

Thomaston village

Lakeview CDP
South Hempstead CDP
Russell Gardens village
Carle Place CDP

On the New York State mainland:
Bronx county
Mount Vernon city
Yonkers city
Tuckahoe village
Pelham village
New Rochelle city
Bronxville village
Eastchester CDP
Pelham Manor village

In New Jersey:
Guttenberg town
Union City city
West New York town
Hoboken city
Cliffside Park borough
East Newark borough
Passaic city
Irvington township
Paterson city
Jersey City city
Fairview borough
East Orange city
Weehawken township
Palisades Park borough
Garfield city
Fort Lee borough
City of Orange township
Prospect Park borough
Edgewater borough
North Bergen township
Wallington borough
Newark city
Harrison town
Bayonne city
Roselle Park borough
Belleville township
Bogota borough
Lodi borough
Hackensack city
Elizabeth city
Bergenfield borough
Bloomfield township
Dumont borough
Nutley township
Roselle borough
Hasbrouck Heights borough
Hillside township
Clifton city
Maywood borough
Ridgefield Park village
Elmwood Park borough
Haledon borough
Little Ferry borough
New Milford borough
Wood-Ridge borough
Teaneck township
Rutherford borough
North Arlington borough
Kearny town
Lyndhurst township
Ridgefield borough
South Hackensack township
Secaucus town
East Rutherford borough
Moonachie borough
Carlstadt borough
Teterboro borough

And finally parts of Richmond county (Staten Island) that contained 64.3% of Staten Island's population in 2010.

Out of these 11,316,885 people, 48.7% lived on Long Island (New York is essentially an island, people tend to forget that), 21.6% lived in New Jersey and Staten Island, 15.6% lived on the New York State mainland, and 14.0% lived in Manhattan.

So, interestingly, in that 1572 km² area, only 14% of people still lived in the original New York City (Manhattan). For comparison, in the 1,572 km² of Paris, 22% live in the original City of Paris.
