A record 8.2 million people live in the city, according to a new population estimate revised after city officials challenged census figures they said missed more than 70,000 residents.
The planning department contends thousands of New Yorkers are not counted by the Census Bureau in its annual population estimates, which are created by monitoring births, deaths and migration information. The estimates are separate from the official census population count conducted every 10 years.
The annual estimates draw migration information from tax returns, a method city planners say doesn’t work for New York because it misses thousands of immigrants, students and other new residents who don’t immediately file those documents.
The new numbers reflect a long history of tension between the planning department and the census department which harks back to that time when the census department was in town on business and had sex with the planning department’s sister then never returned any of her calls.
