Baltimore is more urban than Seattle IMHO...Baltimore has traditional urban neighborhoods that span far away from downtown. MT. Vernon alone is probably one of the most urban neighborhood in the country.

Agreed. Being that Baltimore is in the "rowhouse belt" of the Mid-Atlantic, its built environment is definitely more urban than a predominately SF-detached home city, such as Seattle.
New York, followed by Los Angeles, followed by Chicago, followed by San Francisco. Beyond that point, I don't know and honestly don't care as it is.

Exxactly. I love LA because it's not so urban. Small town feel but still a big city vibe at the same time
Right...
Ironically, even with "Ile Bizard" and a giant mountain in the middle of its city, Montreal's density numbers are nearly identical to Toronto's. The average neighborhood in the city of Montreal is more dense than the average neighborhood in the city of Toronto.
Yes, Toronto does now have the second highest weighted density among U.S. and Canadian cities.
The Toronto-Hamilton-Oshawa urban area is also the densest urban area is the U.S. and Canada.

Vancouver is more dense than both.
And this is just within Canada.
And Toronto has the Toronto Islands, the former Downsview air base, the gigantic Rouge Park and a vast ravine system within its borders. Take all those undeveloped areas away and Toronto and Montreal's urban density are pretty much identical.
The only reason Vancouver has higher density within its municipal boundaries is because it's a city of only 44 square miles! Toronto is 243 square miles and includes large areas of post war development. Toronto's inner 44 square miles is a lot older and considerably more densely populated than Vancouver proper, same with Montreal's inner 44 square miles.
The original Old City of Toronto at 37 square miles was second only to NYC in population density prior to the 1998 amalgamation of the Old City with its 5 surrounding boroughs (York, East York, North York, Etobicoke, Scarborough).
