Stats

Here's an interesting set of statistics:

• New York City population: 8,008,278
• State of Indiana population: 6,114,745

Brooklyn alone contains 2.3 million people, making it the largest New York borough. Were Brooklyn to secede from the City of New York, it would become the fourth largest U.S. city, after the remainder of New York, L.A., and Chicago. With a population of well over two million, Brooklyn has more people than does Nebraska, both Dakotas combined, or Maine. This place is big.
