Manhattan is one of the five boroughs that comprises NYC. It is not a separate city, they are all part of the same one. See my comment below the parent one you were responding to.

Manhattan just gets the most press. 99% of the people not from NY have no clue how NYC works.
To give OP a little credit, of the five NYC boro’s, it IS the most densely populated but it’s dead wrong to consider Manhattan only when talking about NYC.

That Wikipedia list is just so wrong. There are so many inconsistencies with how cities are defined across the world, and the authors seem to have incorrectly identified parts of cities as entire cities themselves (Manhattan being the obvious example to me).

Indeed! Also, Bombay, Calcutta, Shanghai…

Manhattan is not a city. It’s not even the most populated borough of NYC. It’s not even physically the biggest boro of NYC.

You are correct. NYC is composed of five boroughs, Manhattan (New York County), Brooklyn (Kings County), Queens (Queens County), The Bronx (Bronx County), and Staten Island (Richmond County). Manhattan is the densest, Brooklyn is the most populated, Queens is the largest by land area, The Bronx is the only one connected to the mainland, and Staten Island is the most suburban feeling one. NYC municipal government is kind of weird, because the city is comprised of five counties. Most city services are citywide (police, fire, education, etc), but each borough elects its own DA and Borough President (from what I understand, as a life-long NYCer, this position doesn’t have a lot of power and is often a stepping stone to become mayor). The Mayor and City Council represent the whole city, not each borough individually.
All of that being said, when most people think of NYC, they think of Manhattan, which is the “core” of the city. This (not very beautiful) infographic seems to be cherry-picking individual parts of cities to compare, so that’s probably why they chose Manhattan.

I agree, and these are somewhat lowish interest rates over here. A lot of the cards start off at 19% and if you have bad credit, it's more like 25-30+% with $75-150 annual fees.

I would prefer the chart series to be swapped. Bars should descend and line chart could go up and down.
Bars are more solid and line is more agile - therefore my brain cannot easily comprehend the bars all over the place.

Delhi is not that dense actually, it's in plains and it's expanding like anything horizontally. There are some areas in Delhi that are dense but overall it's not that dense.

I don't buy this. Not one Indian city on the list? Have you seen our country? :P

Fair. Maybe just drop the trend line then? Because this just seems like metal bands are dying out on a Chile-Dominicana time scale :D

Yeah, maybe you're right... But a PIE graphic with 21 pieces... would be very poorly redeable, wouldn't it?
Also, i have interest to show the other metric: total band number.
Draugtaur t1_j48ewyr wrote
maybe pie or some other chart would be better? this seems like there's a natural temporal progression from Chile to Dominicana

They are still making a large amount of money from you in credit fees paid by the retailer and your yearly fee with almost no risk .

There is quite a bit of 'noise' in the chart eg...picture of buildings?. I need to find the most densely populated city at a quick glance.

If they could be made, assuming they don't exist yet, Hawaii seems like it'd be a prime location for an offshore solar array.

OP focused on Manhattan because like most non-New Yorkers, they prolly don’t know the outer boro’s even exist.
