- thrdbndndn 4y agoEven with five boroughs, I'm still surprised NYC is this low. In addition to the obvious Staten Island, apparently Queens "only" has 22,125! I always thought it would be close to Brooklyn etc.
- vikingerik 4y agoWell, Queens is about 75% cemeteries by land use. (Population figures don't include dead people, I assume.) Kidding, but there is more land for industrial and commercial use in Queens that isn't residential. Including two airports and three sizable sports facilities. Brooklyn by contrast has almost no interruptions to the edge-to-edge residential street grid.
- etblg 4y agoAnd then even after all the non-residential space being eaten up, more than half of Queens (the parts after the subway ends) is single family suburban homes akin to Long Island or Staten Island. Really throws the population density off for the city, throws the density off even for Queens itself -- the western part near manhattan is dense, especially compared to most of LA.
- nemo44x 4y agoWhen you get out there in Queens (it’s a huge landmass) it’s single family homes.
