One more data dump tonight: going to 30k, NYC becomes more dominant.
Of the 10,656,582 people in the US over 30k, the NYC metro accounts for 65% of them. Hudson County, NJ alone surpasses the San Francisco MSA in >30k density. All four dense boroughs still more than double up Los Angeles' sum
each.
New York: 6,919,220
Los Angeles: 599,822
Chicago: 470,391
San Francisco: 439,958
Philadelphia: 334,754
Boston: 311,585
Washington: 241,319
Miami: 156,904
Honolulu: 110,206
Seattle: 96,014
San Diego: 34,839
Houston: 32,092
Madison: 20,845
Honorable mention: Champaign-Urbana still at 15,719! That is comparable to San Jose at 17,145, and twice Baltimore at 8,223.
Baltimore has 3 tracts at 30k ppsm. Tract 1201 in NE downtown and then tracts 601 and 602
in Patterson Park.
The list stayed remarkably consistent order jumping from 20k to 30k. Tomorrow I might crunch NYC's numbers for higher levels, to see that national percentage climb even higher.
