The NYC death rate is based on a biased sample. If you read the various studies, you will see that there can be significant differences in regional IFR measurements based on legitimate factors (population age, health, etc.) as well as biases (e.g. invalid statistics). NYC probably has a mix of both -- older/sicker people, as well as just fundamentally bad statistics. Particularly on the question of "how many people have the virus?" NYC was laughably, objectively bad at measuring anything of relevance. They made sure that they counted everyone who died, though!
