Visualizing NYC

As the key component of population change, an understanding of migration forms a foundation for major planning and policy decisions. The following visualizations comprise an ongoing series of in-depth explorations of the attributes of migrants both into and out of the city, over time.

Characteristics of Migrants – This interactive chart explores historical flows to and from NYC for migrants with various demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, shedding light on the effect of net migration on the composition of NYC’s population.
