Age Distribution by Regions in NYC (2019-2023)

I created this stacked bar chart to dive deeper into how age groups are distributed across New York City’s boroughs. By layering each bar with different age categories, it highlights the generational makeup of each area, adding another dimension to the demographic analysis.

Brooklyn (Kings County): With the largest population overall, Brooklyn’s even spread of younger adults, families, and middle-aged residents underscores its reputation as a vibrant, community-driven borough. The diversity in age groups suggests a balanced demand for both rental properties and family-sized homes.

Manhattan (New York County): Known as a magnet for young professionals, Manhattan shows a strong concentration of younger adults. This trend aligns with its role as a hub for career opportunities, nightlife, and higher education, sustaining its high demand for apartments and rentals.

Staten Island (Richmond County): Compared to the other boroughs, Staten Island has a smaller population that skews older. Its suburban atmosphere appeals to families and retirees seeking a quieter lifestyle and more space.
