Yes I thought it interesting that the whole island of Manhattan in 1790, had about the same population density that Kansas City has today. I wonder when it passed modern LA's (either the city or the metro area, but I've been discussing the city) density. Lets see LA is 8,205/sq mi. Manhattan is 22.96 sq mi. The same density would give Manhattan 188,387 people. Manhattan passed that population level before 1830. demographia.com Doing the same sort of math Brooklyn passed LA's current population density before 1890, the Bronx before 1920, Queens before 1950, and Staten Island still has lower density than LA (but not a whole lot less 7,587.9/sq mi compared to LA's 8,205/sq mi) The city as a whole became more dense than LA city is today, just after 1900. Its interesting that the two cities are about the same physical size New York is 468.9 sq mi and LA is 498.3 sq mi. I tend to think of LA as being much bigger in area, but that's because all the areas around the actual city get lumped in to LA in my mind. (I don't do that as much for NYC, because I am much more familiar with it, and because a lot of its suburbs are in other states). Well enough useless calculations for today... <g>
