New York City’s current population is around 8.4 million people, with estimates typically cited for mid-2024 to mid-2025 range. For the most up-to- date figure, the city’s planning department and major data trackers provide the latest estimates, but numbers can vary slightly depending on the source and whether the estimate refers to July 1 of a given year or a broader annual total. If you’d like, I can pull the latest official estimate and give you a precise figure with the source. Key points to know
- Recent official estimates place NYC’s population in the high 8.3 to 8.5 million range as of 2024–2025.
- The five boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island) all contributed to growth in the most recent reported period.
- Population trends have shown a slower growth pace in recent years, with some sources noting modest declines or slower increases depending on migration patterns and birth/death factors.
