Center City is not as dense as downtown SF. The densest census tract in downtown SF has 171k people per square mile, while the densest in Philly has 64k per square mile. SF has four downtown neighborhoods with multiple tracts above 100,000 per square mile: The Tenderloin, Nob Hill, Chinatown, and Rincon Hill. Philly has none. Philly is impressive, but it's not more impressive than SF when it comes to density, which for the record, is something that I've noticed myself when I've visited Philly.
