The U.S. Census Bureau did an online poll of 1000 people? Where did you find that information? Even the short description lists 3 sources by name. But yeah people guessing 30% of the population lives in NYC is crazy. Strange guesses

They listed sources for the "True Proportion", but not the estimates. It doesn't actually say who they asked for the "Estimated Proportion" figures.
