Decided to parse out the data in terms of density for contiguously developed urban areas with a population above 500K in the United States.
California is definitely the leader in terms of urban density for the US. Chicago just missed out on being in the top 10 at 3,400 ppsm.
1. Los Angeles, CA = 6,000 ppsm
2. San Francisco-San Jose, CA = 5,300 ppsm
3. Honolulu, HI = 4,700 ppsm
4. Las Vegas, NV & New York, NY = 4,500 ppsm (tie)
5. Miami, FL = 4,400 ppsm
6. San Diego, CA = 4,000 ppsm
7. Bakersfield, CA & Fresno, CA = 3,800 ppsm (tie)
8. Sacramento, CA = 3,700 ppsm
9. Denver, CO & New Orleans, LA = 3,600 ppsm (tie)
10. Portland, OR & Washington, DC = 3,500 ppsm (tie)
