It was indeed revised down.

When the Census Bureau releases lists of year over year population changes, they're comparing estimates released during the same year. NYC supposedly lost population between July 1, 2017, and July 1, 2018, according to their latest release of estimates.

(For the record, the constant revisions of previous years' estimates confused the crap out of me for the longest time, so to whomever may have gotten turned around trying to figure this stuff out: I feel your pain.)

Thanks for the clarification.
