New York MSA: 33,787.5 people per square mile.

+8.1% (2,536.1 ppsm) from 2010. The goliath added Atlanta's average density in ten years.

New York City is so utterly out of scale that if you stripped the four dense boroughs away, i.e. just the suburbs and Staten Island, suburban New York is still at 9,556 ppsm, higher than Chicago or Boston.

Add in Queens alone of the dense boroughs, and New York is already #1 in weighted density without any of Manhattan, Brooklyn, or the Bronx.

The 6k club:

1. New York: 33,787.5
2. San Francisco....13,267.8
3. Honolulu....12,581.9
4. Los Angeles....12,169.4
5. San Jose....9,075.9

10. San Diego....7,381.9
11. Washington....7,296.1
12. Las Vegas....7,031.7
13. Seattle....6,146.3

Oh, and NYC proper's weighted density? 65,299 ppsm!

San Francisco proper has a weighted density of 33,572 ppsm, meaning the entire New York metropolitan area has a higher weighted density than the city of San Francisco!
