Coincidentally, exactly the same size of Tenderloin. Population and density three times lower.
Growth rate lower than Downtown LA as a whole (41% vs 25%), but it's quite a nice pace for an already dense area.

Interesting results. I would've expected the density of the Historic Core to be a little bit closer if not on par with the Tenderloin. The scale of the buildings are quite massive as edale pointed out. The TL is generally comprised of smaller footprinted buildings in the 3-7 story range, with a few taller 10+ story buildings sprinkled in between.
