Ah, very true. I was struck by how similar Chicago and Philadelphia turn out, in both regular and weighted density, but probably just coincidence then.
Another border adjustment thought is where Boston would land if you made the city limits more centered on downtown. West Roxbury is still in the city, but is below 5k in density. If you swapped that out for Cambridge/Somerville, Boston probably makes a run at San Francisco's number.
The joy of city limits, where Jacksonville is twice the population of Atlanta.
