Looks like NYC is going to come in around 225,000 people under the estimates. Population of 8,175,000. As in numerous other cities, they're claiming right away that there's a serious under-count going on.
LOL...I hope New York sues cause then we can make it a class action lawsuite of sorts all the cities banding together.
New York City has beaten the census bureau in court more than once btw.
[LEFT]The discrepancy could mean hundreds of millions in lost federal aid, and city officials vowed to fight to force the feds to revise the numbers upward.
If New York does that, then there will be a tidal wave of legal action coming from across the country. So I am thrilled at the thought of our biggest city once again takes the lead on this.

On thing I failed to add about the NYC release, of all five boroughs, the Bureau says that Queens has grown by 0.1% over the last 10 years or 1,343 people.
Thats right, the largest physical Borough that saw the lion share of growth from immigrant groups grew by a whopping 1,343. That's totally likely. /sarcasm off
What does the government consider more accurate the estimate or the actual count? How does the census work? Can they change the numbers after the count comes out? This is interesting.

The Census has been challenged many times and has revised their numbers accordingly
Perhaps Mayor Bloomberg didn't look at the other cities on the census list and he is paranoid and looking over his shoulder nervously thinking Los Angeles is going to catch up to New York City and become the largest city in America.
