You can see a similar effect with the FiDi in SF, where the residential density is much lower than the totality of the downtown area. My understanding of DTLA is that, like SF there is a FiDi area around Bunker Hill where there is less residential, and a more historic, dense, gritty residential area around Broadway, a la the Tenderloin/Chinatown, and a new rapidly growing area of luxury high rises in South Park a la SoMA/East Cut, and less dense industrial areas that are also becoming more residential in the Arts District a la rest outer SoMA.
