That 3 year delta from 2010 to 2013 says that Manhattan grew by +2.5%, more than the Bronx. 2012 to 2013 was a slower year for Manhattan, but I think 3 years is a more useful baseline for showing trends. Brooklyn is growing the fastest, but Manhattan is not that far behind percentage wise. From the April 1, 2010 Census to the July 1, 2013 estimate:
Bronx: +33,625 people for +2.4%
Manhattan: +40,286 for +2.5%
Queens: +65,450 for +2.9%
Brooklyn: +87,449 for +3.5%
and
Staten Island: +3,891 for 0.8%
Pretty remarkable when one looks at the decadal Census numbers from 1950 to 2000.
