SparkyData

New York through the years

The long series behind our articles in one place, with more from the same public sources: jobs, pay, prices, rents, population, homelessness, commutes, crime, fires, flooding, the weather since 1900 and our neighbours across the Hudson, month by month where the source allows, and borough by borough. Pick a series, cut it the way the article could, see it on a map of the boroughs, carry it on to 2026 with our estimates (always marked as estimates), or set it beside another on one time axis. New to it? A short guide, with pictures.
