Lincoln Square, Chicago:

Block Group 2 - 27,481 ppsm

Census Tract 407 - 25,174 ppsm

Zip Code 60625 - 20,701 ppsm (includes a 0.5 sq. mile cemetery surrounded by an 8' concrete wall- not really a functional part of the neighborhood. density is 23,728 ppsm without it)

City of Chicago - 12,079 ppsm (this is an average density figure spread across 227 sq. miles and includes vast tracts of uninhabited land like ORD @ ~15 sq. miles and the Lake Calumet industrial area @ ~18 sq. miles)


My immediate area in Lincoln Square has a fantastic family-friendly level of density, IMO. Dense enough to be urban and walkable but still relatively quiet and open and green on the side streets. It's a nice creamy middle.
