And yes, the population is huge, even if it had postwar decline, which isn't unlike what happened in the NYC area. Core, urban, Jewish populations declined during the era of suburban expansion, basically everywhere.
Outside of NYC, I have heard that Pittsburgh is basically the only remaining U.S. city with a large Jewish neighborhood remaining within the urban core. I'm not 100% sure this is true, but I can't think of any notable still-existing Jewish neighborhoods in Boston, Philly, Detroit, Cleveland, etc.
