Population Density - Wikipedia

Toronto, ON: 10,287/sq mi
Los Angeles, CA: 8,205/sq mi
Mississauga, On: 5,504/sq mi
Portland, OR: 4,288/sq mi
Houston, TX: 3,828/sq mi
Hamilton, ON: 1,169/sq mi


If we know that the geographical area of Hamilton is fixed, than anytime people move here, regardless of whether they live in the suburbs or a downtown condo, it will increase our population density.

At this time, Hamilton is very sparsely populated, less than a quarter the density of Mississauga. If Hamilton stopped putting restrictions on suburban development, this city could quickly double in population density.

If we could eventually match Mississauga's population density, regardless of the type of housing, Hamilton would have a population of 2.38 million. I don't know about you, but I think Hamilton would be a much more interesting place if that were the case.
