Detroit is still well over 5,000/sm. Still better than most suburbs outside the NY/LA/SF metros. And certainly way over Austin.
Denver can legitimately subtract its airport, leaving something like 102 square miles if I recall. If so, it's nearly 6,000/sm in that area. Not great but ok vs average for newer US cities. True, much of that growth was in greenfield/brownfield zones at the Stapleton or Lowry airport sites, in the Central Platte Valley alongside Downtown, or in suburban tendrils along the edges. Still a fair amount of misc. infill too.
