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.
