Best Answer

Staten Island is the smallest borough in terms of population. It is the second-largest borough by total area, and the third-largest by land area (it has a greater total area than Brooklyn, but it has a lot more square miles/kilometers of water than Brooklyn does, so its total land area is smaller than that of Brooklyn).

What is the biggest to smallest borough in New York City?

Queens is the largest borough, followed by Staten Island, Brooklyn, The Bronx, and Manhattan is the smallest. Note that the Wikipedia entry for New York City says that Brooklyn is the 2nd largest borough, and Staten Island is the 3rd largest. That is because the land area of Brooklyn -- minus bodies of water -- is larger than the land area of Staten Island, minus bodies of water. If we go by total area -- including both land and water -- Staten Island is larger than Brooklyn.
