I don’t know why they include the surrounding areas as part of the city population. The 5 boroughs is roughly 8 million people. If you live in jersey city, you shouldn’t be counted as part of nyc population

I don’t know why they care about population …wikipedia.org/…/List_of_largest_cities_by_area clearly land is more important because land votes not people.

Doesn’t mean other cities haven’t grown. Especially Chinese tech haven and trade hub cities are blowing up. If New York didn’t grow, it probably dropped several spots.
