Here is a link with interesting data about urban county populations and density in the US includes several different lists with data and a map. http://io9.gizmodo.com/half-of-the-u...urs-1258718775 |
I pulled them directly from the OP's .pdf link. New Orleans has an continuously built out urban area population of ~980,000 people in 251 square miles resulting in 3,600 people/square mile according to the methodology used in the link. The population within the levee system is fairly dense throughout, with a higher density in the historic core of New Orleans proper. There is very little empty land left within the levee system.
