If you think Manhattan is bursting at the seams now, good thing you (presumably) did not live in the borough in the 1910s when its population density was inconceivably higher. Newly visualized research by NYU urban scholars Solly Angel and Patrick Lamson-Hall, shared by CityLab, depicts the borough's waxing and waning population between 1800 and today in all of two minutes. Angel and Lamson-Hall used census data, historical maps, and aerial photographs to track density by neighborhood, ultimately depicting that the island was just awash with humans on top of humans when its density peaked in 1910 (after, even, the Jacob Riis years), and was drained pretty substantially through the 20th century until the 80s when people decided it was a good idea to live in this town again.
