Using
the Census Bureau's map, I've updated this list.
Here is the spreadsheet with my work. Sheet 2 lists each census tract. Let me know if you catch an omission.
Twin Cities - 240,371
Milwaukee - 234,104
Detroit - 112,955*
Columbus - 86,536
Cleveland - 78,607
Madison - 63,212 (by far the best for a <1M metro)
St. Louis - 53,286
Cincinnati - 40,620
Grand Rapids - 13,399
Kansas City - 7728
Indianapolis - 4538
Omaha - 2378
*Ann Arbor is an additional 26,580.
Chicago is left as an exercise for the reader.
A few take-aways:
1) The Twin Cities have surpassed Milwaukee as the largest non-Chicago density cluster in the Midwest.
2) Most metros gained high density population. Exceptions: Milwaukee, Cleveland, and St. Louis.
3) Columbus more than doubled its high density population!
