New Yorkers are reportedly leaving the Big Apple in massive numbers as the surge in illegal immigrants continues to strain city resources, according to new data.
In 2023, New York City lost 78,000 residents, lowering its total population to 8.26 million people, down from a record 8.8 million reported in early 2020, according to recent census data acquired by The New York Times. The estimate is on top of the more than 126,000 residents the city lost in 2022.
