Throw in Sommerville at around 80,000 people with just under 20,000 people a square mile and Cambridge with roughly the same numbers. I'm not seeing how you get 727,666 people at over 20,000 people a square mile.

Every populated place in the US is broken down by the Census Bureau into constituent tracts, which are discrete units with varying populations and densities. That 727,666 figure is the total combined population contained in metro Boston's Census tracts with population densities of 20,000+ persons per square mile, if they covered an entire square mile at the recorded density. At 20K+, they are almost never a full square mile, however.
