It's a Pretty Big Apple

In case you didn't know, New York City is more than just Manhattan. It's a city of about 8,275,000 people distributed throughout five boroughs whose individual populations (according to 2007 Census numbers) are:
Manhattan - 1.621 million
Brooklyn - 2.528 million
Queens - 2.270 million
Bronx - 1.374 million
Staten Island - 481,613

And here's a really cool map by Very Small Array [go there for more highly entertaining maps and charts--seriously, go now] showing which U.S. states have populations similar to those of each NYC's boroughs.



Well, Mr. O'Kitten always said he wanted to live in New Mexico.

Dang, there are only between 4 and 5 million people in the state of MN... Thanks for the link to A Very Small Array - great blog!

D'you know...that's just under half the population for the whole of Australia. And I think Brisbane is crowded...
