Here are the 13 that average above the national value.
Los Angeles: 78.1%
San Jose: 75.0%
New York: 68.9%
San Francisco: 66.3%
Honolulu: 62.7%
Las Vegas: 62.0%
Miami: 57.4%
San Diego: 51.1%
Philadelphia: 46.8%
Chicago: 42.0%
Boston: 39.7%
Washington, DC: 38.8%
Seattle: 33.5%
5,792 ppsm gets pretty much the entire LA Basin. San Jose above San Francisco is a bit surprising, but the San Francisco side of the MSA includes the Alameda/Contra Costa sprawl of Walnut Creek, Antioch, etc. that drops below the bar.
As for New York, 5,792 ppsm still drops most of the outer suburbs, and masks just how much higher its central density plateau is compared to the others.
The raw numbers:
New York: 13,873,234
Los Angeles: 10,309,908
Chicago: 4,044,247
Miami: 3,522,429
San Francisco: 3,148,739
Philadelphia: 2,922,154
Washington, DC: 2,478,877
Boston: 1,961,537
San Diego: 1,684,842
San Jose: 1,501,349
Las Vegas: 1,404,887
Seattle: 1,348,074
Honolulu: 637,582
