I wouldn't include all of Westlake east of Hoover, just some of the downtown adjacent census tracts that were considered a part of downtown before the freeways carved up those neighborhoods. Westlake itself is too big and residential to be considered a part of downtown imo. It actually has more people at a higher density than DTLA.
But since we're also tallying numbers for downtown adjacent districts in this thread, we can estimate that Koreatown-Westlake-DTLA has now surpassed 300k population in ~7.7 square miles for a density upwards of 40k ppsm.
Koreatown - 124,281 (2008 estimate) - 2.7 sqm - 46,030 ppsm
Westlake - 117,756 (2008 estimate) - 2.72 sqm - 43,292 ppsm
DTLA - 52,691 (2020 census, unofficial borders) in 2.3 sqm - 22,909 ppsm
