The metropolitan area around New York City includes ares in the states of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. The best I can tell that's what this graphic is basing it's population of NYC on.

Edit: actually I can guarantee is the metropolitan are because Tokyo is the same way. The city has a listed population of 13 million but the metropolitan area is around 40 million, this map shows 37 million.

Oh wow I had no idea it was that built up outside of the city. This must be what Gibson calls the sprawl
