The Story of Manhattan's Dynamic Population
The visualization you see here is a model of the dynamic
population of Manhattan, block-by-block and hour-by-hour for a typical
week in late Spring. The model is currently fixed to your local time.
The population estimates are the result of a combination of US Census
data and a geographic dispersion of calculated net inflows and outflows
from subway stations, normalized to match population daytime and
nighttime estimates provided by a study from NYU Wagner. You may exit
the story at any time by selecting the ‘Visualization’ or ‘Statistics’
tabs in the header above. For more information, click ‘About’. To

Manhattan is a constantly active hub, but a new data visualization map
by @citrusvanilla paints a portrait of exactly how many people flow in
and out of the borough, hour-by-hour and block-by-block, over the course
of a typical Spring week.
The visualization, called the Manhattan
Population Explorer, uses data from the U.S. Census in conjunction with
estimates of subway inflows and outflows - collected from the
Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s turnstile database and Steven Romalewski’s MTA subway data -
to showcase just how dynamic population movement is.
After all,
Manhattan is New York City’s most densely populated borough, and it also
has the highest ratio of daytime-to-nighttime population (nearly 2 to
1) of anywhere in the United States.
