I suspect there is also a race component to the numbers being so wildly off. It’s something that I actually have noticed a lot over the years. About 15 years ago when I was in high school, I asked a classmate “without looking around, how many Asians do you think are in this class right now” (he had just ranted about how the Chinese were taking over everything). He estimated 70%. There were 4 out of around 30 or so. a lady who I later found out was extremely racist once told me quite confidently that NYC was >90% black.
