Obviously the only reason these cities would pass NYC is because they are way smaller, but it's still interesting.
Which city do you think has the best chance to pass NYC for highest percentage of city-wide units being multi-family units among their housing stock?
Which city do you think has the highest potential to catch NYC in multi-family units in large urban buildings (20+ units) as a total percentage of city-wide housing stock?
Oh look...more MdAllstar threads trying to pass a red herring by getting people to boost D.C. Even if they were to pass NYC in per capita rates, they will never beat it in sheer density so it wouldn't really matter anyway...including D.C.

would be more interested in the 20+ story per capita residential percentages

Interesting, but ultimately meaningless should any of those cities pass.
NYC is 83% multi-unit housing for 8 million people. Most metros don't even have 8 million people (not even close). Imagine the entire DMV area with 80% multi-unit housing, that still wouldn't match the built density of NYC. It's a complete beast.
LA from DTLA to Santa Monica is probably in the 80% of range, but that's only for 1.1-1.2 million people. The entire county however will be closing in on 45% by the end of the decade. Pretty good percentage for a county of 10 million people.

There's no way that corridor is 80% multifamily housing, unless you're measuring like two block from Wilshire only in which case you're talking like 150k people, not 1.1 million people. There are very large areas of single family homes all along the corridor from downtown to the Pacific.
I would estimate that corridor would be, at most, two-thirds multifamily, and that would be pushing it if you're really counting 1.1 million people. That's almost a third of LA.
And other people on this damn forum aren't obsessed with theirs as well? Not necessarily defending OP but gotta call a spade a spade.
You're right but I'm from the dc area aswell. The OP has made many post like this which is the reason why I said it. He really does have a lot of time on his hands...

It's safe to say it is. Santa Monica, for example, is 76% multi-use housing. Weho is at 90%. Even Beverly Hills is 64% multi-use and virtually all of those SFHs are north of Santa Monica Blvd, up in the hills.
90028 (Hollywood) is at 86%, per city data. 90025 (West LA) is also at 86%. Koreatown and Westlake are north of 90%. Yes, there are areas along the Wilshire-SM Corridor that are predominantly SFHs (Hancock Park for example), but, for the most part, apartments rule the day in that region of the city.
