Since the data in the spreadsheet provided only looked at number by state, this data is relating to the number of people that moved into New York State not New York City. We suggest continuing research by attempting to determine the estimated number of people that moved to New York City from out of state and abroad in 2018. If the number is not publicly available we can use the above data as a proxy to calculate the estimated number of people that moved to NYC in 2018 from out of state or abroad using the percentage of the New York State population that NYC has.
Alternatively, we could continue research on the spreadsheet to provide a historical look at the number of people per year that moved to New York state over the last 5 years (2013-2017) from out of state and abroad.
