boston ranks high in population density…a good future blog would be metro population density. sq mileage of some cities are enormous giving them an edge over cities w/ smaller sq mileage.

According to the censusGR2 of 2000, there were 589,141 people, (the population estimate of 2006 was 596,638 people),[36] 239,528 households, and 115,212 families residing in the city. The population density was 12,166 people per square mile (4,697/km²). Of major US cities,[37] only New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago have a greater population density than Boston.[38] There were 251,935 housing units at an average density of 5,203 per square mile (2,009/km²).
However, the population of Boston can grow during the daytime to about 1.2 million. This fluctuation of people is caused by suburban residents traveling to the city for work, education, medical purposes, and special events.[39]
