Whatever figures you see both nationally or locally in any city for Hispanics, just double it. That's the real number. Illegal aliens don't fill out census forms, yet the simple eye test especially in the NYC area tells you that Hispanics are way undercounted. This goes for Asians as well. My guess is half of Flushing's foreign born mainlanders from China is undercounted.
Within 3-4 years NYC a city of 9 million residents
What I'm curious is how the city grew so much, unless Bloomberg was right and the 2010 census was severly undercounted. The city is even more expensive now, and also doesn't have as much of a positive global reputation as it use to.

Could be a host of things including severe undercount for the 2010 so that there's a wrongfully low base, but there were also a lot of things throughout the 2010s that can lend credence to a (pre-pandemic) population boom over the course of the 2020s like growing subway ridership and massive rent increases signalling demand especially as supply (construction) kept adding more and more units.

People use to say Brooklyn and Harlem was too ghetto now look they all moving there in huge numbers in 2010s.

It grew due to illegal aliens, mostly from Central America and China. Just look around in the boroughs. The real housing crunch in NYC isn't coming from wealthy white transients. It's coming from a flood of illegal foreigners driving up the demand for apartments. Apt's that would normally go to a single working class person is often rented to multiple dwellers paying a few hundred each. NE Queens is flooded with McMansions housing dozens of occupents whereas 10 years ago it was a 2 story building with affordable rent. Supply and demand is killing the middle class in the boroughs.
