The code you hve should work. I passed challenge using this & it looks like yours:

var newYork = { population: 100, latitude: '40.7127 N', longitude: '74.0059 W' };

newYork.population = 8.406e6

The statement: newYork.population = 8.406e6 is what theyre looking for for the challenge & you already have it. Was there something else?
