The city may never sleep, but there are significantly less people in it during the witching hours. This neat illustration shows just how many people commute in for work only to go enjoy their nights in... Jersey? If you look closely you'll also see that Roosevelt Island's population doubles at night; what exactly is going on over there?

Thank you USA Today.
where the hell is the rest of new york in that diagram?
"At night everyone scuttles back to their homes in Jersey and Brooklyn."
umm...yeah that's it.
Roosevelt Island is residential, people leave during the day for work and come home at night, what's the mystery?
I thought Roosevelt Island just had a lot of old people on it......old people that party hard in their Depends!
it's across the river from bedpan alley,hospital housing, largely future docs, ie residents, post-docs, etc.
Wow! And does anyone know what those big grouping are on the bottom & middle of that peninsula looking thing? I can only imagine!!
zzzzzzzzzz
I call shenanigans.
This map is retarded, and yes I mean the der der kind.
I'll take a wild guess about what happens at night on Roosevelt Island: sleeping.
Si, people forget we got over 15000 people there.
the curve on the 'key' doesn't even make sense. Why does it get so sharp? and why aren't their any numbers? is this one of those "80% of all statistics are made up on the spot" type things?
Yes, it is.
i like the very scientific key at the bottom. low, medium, high!
I read somewhere that the nightime res. pop. of manhattan is 1.5 million but surges to like 3 million every weekday.
but i could be wrong about that.
"what exactly is going on over there?"
Secret hipster nightime garbagecan pool parties that screen gossip girl showings on the side of builings. Don't tell JC that though.
Great reporting, Jen!
"New York City's population"?
More like Manhattan south-of-96th-Street and some yupster hoods of Queens, B'klyn, and Jersey.
This map confirms that nobody sleeps in Greenpoint.
And how much middle east oil is used every day to bring in a army that would make Alexander the Great blush?
I knew I had seen the map somewhere else, and after some digging and a serendipitous conversation with Urban Omnibus, I found it! I blog about the results at Spatiality. And for anyone who analyzes spatial data, the results are interesting.
