10K+ ppsm can be fairly urban in some circumstances, but it can also be a kind of limbo zone of tightly packed houses and very lackluster retail corridors.
But at 20K+ ppsm, things tend to lean more in the urban direction more often than not.

Yeah, LA is densifying nicely. Here's the 30K+ ppsm numbers from last week, and LA still stays ahead of the Chicago lakeshore:
New York: 6,919,220
Los Angeles: 599,822
Chicago: 470,391
San Francisco: 439,958
Philadelphia: 334,754
Boston: 311,585
Washington: 241,319
Miami: 156,904
Honolulu: 110,206
Seattle: 96,014
San Diego: 34,839
Houston: 32,092
Madison: 20,845 (
)
I'm looking forward to crunching the weighted population density, and seeing if LA pulls off third place. (I am presuming that San Francisco will be in second, and of course NYC will lap everybody else.)
