If New York City experiences a population increase of between 1% to 1.99% between July 1, 2025 and July 1, 2027, then the market resolves to Yes. Population change is calculated as ((Final Period Population - Initial Period Population) / Initial Period Population) × 100, rounded to one decimal place. The market resolves based on official census counts or estimates from the relevant national statistical office or census bureau for the specified geography. If the geography is split into multiple entities during the time period, the combined population of all successor entities will be used. Preliminary counts or estimates are valid if final data is not available by expiration. If data is unavailable by the latest expiration date, all strikes resolve to No. For temporal markets, the market checks cumulative population change from the start of the time period to each potential resolution date. This market will close and expire early if official population data is released confirming the outcome.
