People aren’t simply moving into the city locally the numbers just don’t work.
The demographics of NYC require and support the idea of a huge and constant flux of people from distant areas moving into and out of the city which matches people’s observations. Even the gender divide is abnormal, the largest age group is 25-29 for women and 30-34 for men despite more men being born vs women living longer.

- Retric 1y agoI’m saying the “local metro area” just doesn’t have the population to support that kind of migration pattern on its own. Sure plenty of locals move into the city just as with any city, what sets NYC apart is it draws in people from much longer distances before most of them leave. The elderly population in NYC being relatively tiny.
