I'll post this again, since no one (aside from kidphilly) addressed it.
New York - 3,482,472 (54.4% of total jobs in MSA)
Los Angeles - 1,554,495 (34.8%)
Chicago - 1,167,738 (33.2%) Washington DC - 1,011,162 (55.5% of total jobs in MSA)
Boston - 989,319 (51.4%)
Philadelphia - 909,026 (39.3%)
Houston - 892,579 (50.9%)
San Francisco - 805,829 (44.7%)
Seattle - 619,589 (46.9%)
Miami - 522,722 (39.5%)
You really expect me to believe that cities like Pittsburgh and Rochester are more vibrant than Los Angeles given this (and countless other) data? Come on now.
Wow, so D.C. has a higher percentage of jobs concentrated within 10 mile's of downtown D.C. compared to the rest of the MSA than Manhattan in New York does?
Is D.C. the #1 major city in the country for concentrated jobs? With all the housing being added now in the core of the region, crazy to think about what D.C. is becoming.

DC is concentrated - just only 28% of the total jobs in the concentrated space (Think NYC has more jobs in the core than does the whole DC metro though)

Still a very concentrated job and core area
What's the 28%? Where does the 55.1% for DC come from and the 54% for NYC come from?
I would think NYC would have more jobs than that within 10 miles with 8 million people actually. It's always interesting to look at these numbers.

A 10-mile radius is not my idea of "centralized." Job centralization is a high percentage of jobs in a very small area. In NYC, it's about 20% of all jobs in a 9 sq. mile area. In Paris, it's 20% of jobs in an 11 sq. mile area. In London, it's 21% of jobs in a 12 sq. mile area. In Tokyo, it's 16% of jobs in a 16 sq. mile CBD.

That is interesting. I wonder what D.C.'s would be. I will say that I don't think it would be good if D.C. had most of it's jobs sprawled in the core unless they were within 1 mile of a metro station. With the Silver Line, I don't think any region outside of NYC has a higher percentage of jobs within one mile of rail transit with 3-6 minute peak headways. NYC may not even have D.C. beat in that department. It would be interesting if there was a study for it.
Agreed. Do you think NYC will have more jobs within one mile of rail transit with 3-6 minute headways than D.C. when the Silver Line is done? The Purple Line will also change that dynamic.

NYC has express train service. That ends all comparisons right there.
