The population density scale runs from 0-100 inhabitants per acre up to 900-1000 inhabitants per acre. The most densely populated area (black, upper left) is the east side of Manhattan. The nationalities (1890 Census) are mostly German, Irish and American. The total population in 1890 was 1,515,301.
