This is pretty dang insane (and really bad for New York):
* * *
New York County had a 6.9% decline, Kings County had a 3.5% decline, Bronx County had a 3.2% decline, and Queens County had a 3.1% decline.
This is the most prominent and populous city in the nation, but it's emptying out in droves. Note that this only covers until July 1 of last year, so you know the problem is even worse now.
More from NBC4:
The New York metro area lead all others in population loses, according to the census data. The combination of New York, Newark and Jersey City reflected a population loss of more than 385,000 people, almost double that of the Los Angeles, Long Beach and Anaheim region.
...Between that same 15 month period, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx also made up four of the 10 counties with the largest drop in population by straight numbers, the census data shows.
Great job again on the lockdowns and mandates, former Mayor Bill de Blasio and best-governor-ever Andrew Cuomo!
