BTW, my simple methodology for choosing the tracts to include was based on finding a core area that had a similar share of the urban area's population to Boston (I know it's silly to choose that city since it has such a small percentage of its urban area, but I just wanted to find what the extreme would be)
Boston: City- 589,141; Urban Area- 4,032,484; City share- 15%
(Actual) Los Angeles: City- 3,694,820; Urban Area- 11,789,487, City share- 31%
("Classic") Los Angeles: City- 1,800,000; Urban Area- 11,789,487, City share- 15%
In truth, LA's actual 31% of the population is pretty similar to philly (29%) and Chicago (34%)
