New York City<\/a> lost more residents than those that moved in last year, according to a new study from the Citizens\u2019 Budget Commission released Monday.<\/p>\n

The Citizens Budget Commission reported that the city\u2019s overall population declined in 2025. The study explained further that the decline in population is due to the 70% drop in New Yorkers moving to other areas and international migration.<\/p>\n

According to the study, “Across all income levels, more people moved out of New York City than moved in last year.”<\/p>\n

Last year, New York City lost 114,000 more residents to other U.S. cities than it gained. Although it\u2019s an increase from 2024, it still did not surpass the pandemic-era exodus.<\/p>\n

The study also found that in 2024, New York City lost more low- and middle-income residents than it did high-income residents. More New Yorkers with incomes in the bottom 40% moved out between 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital previously reported on residents claiming Mamdani is backtracking on campaign promises<\/a> to lower housing costs, pointing to a proposed property tax hike, rising water bills and higher electricity costs as signs that life is only getting more expensive.<\/p>\n

Mamdani’s office did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.<\/p>\n

The city’s losses came after New York Gov. Kathy Hochul<\/a> lamented the flight of wealthy tax-paying residents to red states like Florida and Texas. .<\/p>\n

San Francisco’s population experienced a similar decline, in which it had not recovered since pandemic levels.<\/p>\n

“San Francisco metro area\u2019s population failed to grow again in 2025, despite a swelling boom in AI,” The San Francisco Chronicle reported<\/a> in March. “Unlike in almost every other major metro in the country, that\u2019s left the region\u2019s total population well below its 2020 level, according to newly released U.S. census estimates.”<\/p>\n

The city has been plagued by skyrocketing costs of living<\/a> for the past several years. Former residents have explained<\/a> that they found a better quality and cost of living outside the Bay Area, where homelessness and housing prices have skyrocketed. <\/p>\n

The issue led residents to moderate Daniel Lurie in 2024<\/a>, defeating incumbent Democrat London Breed in a shift away from lenient policies on crime, drugs and homelessness that critics say contributed to the city\u2019s decline.<\/p>\n
