Probably because the entire population of Montana makes up just one neighborhood of NYC

I thought you were joking and then I got curious.

Montana has a million people and NYC has almost 9 million people.

There are 4 NYC neighborhoods with over 200,000 people [1].

So we can say Montana makes up five NYC neighborhoods (out of 55 neighborhoods total).

Close enough!
