Foadi, who posted the busted link, accepted it as fact? It wasn't even his work.

Both Joe Linton and I went outside of the city limits since West Hollywood clearly isn't a part of Los Angeles. That made no difference. By grabbing the densest tracts I could find, I couldn't get past 831,000. Joe Linton got to 791,000 or so but he included some areas I excluded because they were too sparsely populated. Either way, there's no way we both missed the mark by 400,000 people.

You see bajan you're looking at it from an outsider perspective, if I was to get the densest 47 sq miles possible I would start off in central Hollywood, move east up to pico union, south down south of dtla, east through north south central and gobble what's left of Maywood, HP, Cudahy, etc. It's really not that hard to do if you know your city.

I essentially just did that, and it comes up to a million at most. That's pretty damn good, but it aint 1.4

I don't need to "know the city" to see what the densest zip codes are and then input the data into Excel. I didn't use City-Data statistics. My data comes from 5-year ACS population estimates.

Did you get your numbers from ACS?

Well I am not sure about the 1.4, but the 1.2 seems like the correct number.

Yes you do need to know, otherwise you'll start leapfrogging.

You can avoid leapfrogging by looking at a map. All that's required is an understanding of the word "contiguous."

Show me on a map of the contiguous area and I'll show you you're mistakes.
