Serious question, are you being difficult on purpose? I'm not sure how you are not grasping this...I'll lay it out one more time for you:
Manhattan has a daytime population of ~4M people
The city of Chicago (not all of cook county, not dupage county, not lake county - the city of Chicago) has a residential population of ~2.7M - the daytime population of the CITY OF CHICAGO swells by about 800,000 people. Bringing the total DAYTIME POPULATION of CITY OF CHICAGO to ~3.5M people.
Now for the mathletes out there, 4M people is greater than 3.5M people.
SO...Given the above, what I said earlier still holds true:
Manhattan's 22sq miles has a larger population than the entire 227sq miles of Chicago.
Get it?
