New York City population drop slows Washington not new York City s population loss since 1970 has reached 442,000 nearly half of it in Brooklyn but the annual rate of decline which averaged 85,000 Between 1970 and 1975 has slackened to 19,000, according to new census Bureau projections. Despite the apparent slowing of a popu lation decline the newest figures also show a total net outward migration of 634,000 people from new York City since 1970. The actual population loss was less a total of 442,000 Only because births among Resi dents remaining in the City exceeded deaths by 192,400.the net migration out of Brooklyn since 1970 reached 307,800 by july 1, 1976, and the comparable out migration totals for the Bronx and Manhattan were 128,700 and 122,500, respectively. The newly available projections by the census Bureau based on such factors As birth and death records and school enrol ment Are provisional ones reflecting changes from july 1, 1975, to july 1, 1976. They Are subject to amendment months from now after additional complicated data become available. A year ago the provisional estimates of changes for the period july 1, 1974, to july 1, 1975, also indicated a slowdown in the population loss. But later data reversed that conclusion. Therefore census Bureau officials Cau Tion against assuming that the exodus under Way for Many years from new York City especially the out migration of the members of the White Middle class is being brought to a halt. The new provisional figures for july 1, 1976, indicate that Manhattan a big popu lation loser since 1970, actually had a gain of 3,900 Between mid-1975 and mid-1976. Queens gained 2,600 and Staten Island added 3,900 in the same period. But the Bronx lost 16,400, and Brooklyn had a de Cline of 13,000.
