City’s population grew by 53,000 residents for the 12-month period
ending July 2008, the biggest numerical increase of any city in the
country, according to the U.S. Census. The city’s population was
estimated at more than 8.36 million people, up from 8.31 million in
July 2007. While a population increase has been the pattern of the past
several years, the latest numbers show a shift in the pattern of who’s
moving into and out of the city, said Joseph Salvo, chief demographer
for New York. In the year ending July 2008, Salvo said,
fewer immigrants came in but fewer residents left.
