Population Estimates 1800-2000
|
Caution. This page presents an comparative estimate of New York City (Manhattan) population by sector from 1800 to 2000. Sector boundaries are not exactly
the same between 1910 to 1970, with the most significant changes occuring between the North and Central sectors. A statistical adjustment has been made
in an attempt to make the data between these two sectors more comparable for the period from 1880 to 1910.

Cautions: |
|
|
|
|
|
In 1970, the North sector contained approximately 20 percent more land area than in 1910 and the Central sector contained approximately 20 percent less land area. Demographia estimate attempts to compensate for this difference between 1880 and 1910. |
|
The Lower East Side and Lower West Side appear to be approximately the same area as in 1910. |
