First, thank you for bringing more to the discussion than "If I recall correctly." Do you know what data set Statistical Atlas is using for that graph, and how they are calculating "neighborhoods?" They don't say in either case. They list the "neighborhood" of Hollywood as having 146,510 residents, which to my eyes is actually a district consisting of many neighborhoods--perhaps including sparsely populated hillside areas that might lower the overall density of what they define as Hollywood. It makes me question their list.
In any case, the context here, generally, is Houston's density, and more specifically, a comparison made a while ago with the density of Los Angeles. In that context, there is no question that Los Angeles is much more densely populated than Houston. Many may remember that on this forum, after the 2020 Census data was finally released, we posted nonstop about things like population densities. One such conversation produced, through a group effort, the total population within each MSA living in census tracts with densities at or above 20,000 ppsm; for Houston, that total was 88,080. For Los Angeles, that total was 1,919,006. I like Houston, but it's got a lot of work to do to become notable as 'America's next dense city.'
