The figure for the Inner Harbor seems inflated and the figure for the Mall seems too low. It's hard to believe that the Inner Harbor gets half as many tourists as the place that's the destination for more field trips than anywhere else in the country.
I'm almost certain that Baltimore is the most underrated city in the country. Even people from Baltimore are unaware of what goes in here...very sad. Baltimore is still more urban than Seattle tho, the structural density didn't drop off since Baltimore's population peak of just under a million. Seattle has yet to hit those numbers, and yet to hit Baltimore's urbanity.
Yes city too. Apparently you've missed the boat on that one.
DC: 658,893 as of 2014 (growing at a more significant rate than Bmore) and pop density of 10,528 ppsm.
Bmore: 622,104 as of 2013 (sluggish growth rate) and pop density of 7,671.5 ppsm.
So yes, I'd say DC is not only the larger metro area but also the larger CITY and it will only continue to experience steady leaps in population growth.
What boat? 37k isn't a significant difference to me. Plus, I care nothing about ppsm, I use structural density as a barometer. I mean because if we were to use population density, then Miami is more urban than any city not in the top 5, and yes, that includes DC.

Baltimore is bigger in size than DC. I could care less about the population there basically the same. And Baltimores street vibes seem more urban and grit than DC
it accounts for Baltimore's impressive volume of abandoned buildings
...because urbanity is not about people, it's about boarded-up rowhouses, a downtown with fewer office workers than Reston, Virginia, and most importantly, a mall with a Cheesecake Factory that attracts more tourists than the Smithsonian

Elkton, Maryland is bigger than Baltimore then because i said so. And it's within twenty miles of two major toll plazas that attract millions each year. It's also close to both Cheseapeake House and the Delaware I-95 rest stop. Its access to off ramp Cinnabons and Sbarros is unparalleled in this country, so I say it ranks 3rd in urbanity after New York and Chicago. It's rest stop-prepared apple pie density is off the charts.
NYC, Chicago, SF, Philly and Boston are pretty universally regarded as the top 5 most traditionally urban cities in the US.
After them, which would you say come next?
I would think DC, Seattle, Baltimore and maybe LA. Maybe Miami, Portland, Pittsburgh, New Orleans?
Los Angeles is in the top 5 for density , but get downgraded because of it's lack of walkability ....
