Well people have to remember that NYC 8 million population is really hype instead of reality...Manhattan in reality is 1 million and Brooklyn and Bronx are 2 million respectively so the reason NYC is at 8 million is that they merged all the cities as 1....that's like L.A county merging as 1 big city that would make it 9.8 million or if Chicago merged it would also bring it's total population to 5 million
Uh, no.
NYC is significantly smaller geographically than LA city. Heck, NYC could add a bunch of suburban counties, pushing it's population well above 10 million, and would still be smaller than LA.
And your numbers are all wrong. Manhattan has closer to 2 million than 1 million, Brooklyn has 2.6 million, and Queens is a little behind Brooklyn.
Why would NYC just be Manhattan? That's like LA only being downtown LA, so LA would have a population of 50,000 or something.

NYC is 470 square likes, LA is 500. Not much difference, especially because huge portions are uninhabitable mountains.
The real question should be what will the five largest U.S. Cities in 2050 by urban population or even daytime population. NYC will stay at the top.
You would be surprised by how some cities change in Daytime population.
From the largest Cities NY, DC and Houston change the most numerically with each gaining a net of ~ 500K
Houston has the largest employment to resident ratio at 1.48 to 1 for cities over 1M
DC has the highest ratio for the over 500k cities. DC daytime population almost doubles
San Jose has the smallest with a ratio of 0.88 to 1 (actually getting smaller during the day).
ATL was most impressive for the mid sized cities. It swells to almost 700K during the day
NYC will indefinetly be the largest city in 2050, its still growing and it currently has a baby boom which will mean a even younger population. Los Angeles i doubt would reach 5.5 million espically since its not growing very fast.
Chicago will probably be behind houston by 2050 and phoenix would be catching up (that is if they dont run out of water).
Phoenix and Philly are really going at it. Who do y'all think is gonna win the next census?
is the city with a higher population the winner?
