Just because I was interested...
This isn't the building density, just the unit density that the Census collects. Since this is "city limits" data, it's going to be skewed a bit. Miami is a paltry 55 sq miles (35 land, but I used the total area for all cities).
Detroit - 2,442 units/sqm 23% vacant
Austin - 1,196 units/sqm 8% vacant
Miami - 3,345 units/sqm 14% vacant
If we just look at density of occupied units
Detroit - 1,884 occ-units/sqm
Austin - 1,097 occ-units/sqm
Miami - 2,878 occ-units/sqm
