Possibly but I suspect it is also because there are a lot more people that can work at home or walk to work in Manhattan and more people who have essential jobs they need to do at some site and have to ride mass transit to get to it. Staten Island has a lot of cases per person and again, I think that is due to essential workers taking mass transit.
