LA has surpassed NYC as the gaming capital of the world since the release of GTA V.

If anybody wants to know anything about population densities of LA neighborhoods this is a good but dated place to go. Just keep in mind it appears the data is from the 2000 census and 2008 estimates. All of these neighborhoods have become more dense (some of them substantially) presently.

I thought this density comparison map by former Streetsblog S.F. writer Michael Rhodes, and article that accompanied was interesting. It maps out many of neighborhoods that dktsb listed above. One thing to take note of is there is a lot of large swaths of parkland in SF that sadly we don't have in these central parts of L.A. (save for Elysian Park)

What would you say is a rough approximation of the population of that Central LA area (47 sq miles), listed? 700k?

I would say it's 17,583 x 47 = 826,401



(btw Amsterdam also has about the same density. 845,000 on 44 sqm and currently growing by 13,000 a year)

And the 'Old City of Toronto' had 736,775 people on 38 square miles in 2011, or 19,642 residents per square mile. LA, SF, and Amsterdam aren't all that far off although the Old City of Toronto has added a lot of people since 2011.

Depending on the boundaries, which can be refuted to the end of time, it's anywhere from about 825k to over a million.

Haha, awesome. I know Michael Rhodes.

Those population density maps are illustrative of the need to dig deeper beyond numbers.

It's true that LA and SF have roughly similar core density over a similar geography. But the built form/vibrancy/desirability/street level feel are very different.

Speaking generally, the densest SF neighborhoods are fairly wealthy and gentrified, while those in LA are fairly poor and immigrant-oriented. SF has high density due to very urban built form; in LA large household sizes contribute heavily to the density figures. There are significant differences in relative walkability, building age, auto orientation and the like.

Congratulations LA on hitting a new HIGH! I would be one of those 4 million for one year if I had the luxury. I love LA, but it's too sunny for me to live in beyond that, but what an awesome, dynamic place!

I mostly agree, but the Tenderloin and Chinatown (which are SF's densest hoods) aren't necessarily wealthy or gentrified.

That blows the "Low Density L.A." lie out of the water. One of the densest cities in U.S.

It is also important to note that many L.A. suburban areas have quite high densities, over 10,000 per square mile in many Valley neighborhoods for example. In the cities bordering L.A. on the southeast, Huntington Park, South Gate, etc., densities are even higher. Lots of immigrants sharing apartments and houses to save money. 10+ people per unit, etc. These average suburban densities in L.A. are higher than the New York City suburbs, and probably San Francisco suburbs as well. The massive population density of Manhattan conceals the fact that the middle and outer suburbs are not greatly dense.
