Yet all four of these downtown zip codes are inexplicably excluded from your exercise, and the likely reason is they are mostly non-residential. That is cherry-picking data.
Subjective definition:
How can one legitimately define LA's "core" as containing only 25% of downtown and excluding Boyle Heights while including the Fairfax?

Like Boyle Heights is part of LA's core and Fairfax with CBS, Farmers Market and The Grove isn't. And I would love to get those parts to be considered part of Downtown on the SSP Downtown population research project but Cirrus won't include them... go figure.
Anyway, I added all your suggestions there and at 59.1 square miles and a population of 1102184 it gives a density of 18,649 people per square mile.
90012-3.5 sqm 31383 pop
90013-.8 sqm 9983
90021- 2.0 sqm 3082
9033- 3.1 sqm 50720
