I get it what that poster is saying, but I see that basing population growth on the existing population of a city/metro is more common.
His/her way isn't wrong at all, but I've personally never seen that metric used.

It's more common to just refer to density statistics but expressly citing land area in association with population growth is a good way to paint a clearer picture and drive the point home conclusively.

There's are structural density, and an architecural vernacular argument to be made as well. His/her way of looking at it is truely unique. I don't disagree with it.

Yeah structural density is very much the flip side of population density here. But I wouldn't necessarily say his way of viewing this is unique but it's usually mostly used when talking about a sprawling Sunbelt city on the verge of overtaking a more mature, constrained legacy city. Back when Phoenix overtook Philadelphia in city population, it was common to highlight the differences in land area/population density between the two. Similarly it comes up in Houston vs Chicago discussions. One of my favorite factoids is Charlotte and NYC cover the same amount of land area and the former has roughly a tenth of the population of the latter.

I was going to use the same two cities as an example a couple upthread for the same exact reason. lol
I'm in Charlotte right now, and the amount of development going on is ridiculous.

Yeah it's wild to see the city actually growing and developing into the next tier. The growth in SouthEnd in particular is crazy, and development is jumping the I-277 loop from Uptown into surrounding neighborhoods in all directions. I miss my second home.
Castleberry Hill is a former industrial district adjacent to downtown with lots of rehabbed lofts, warehouses, and such, in the shadow of Mercedes-Benz Arena. It's not a residential SFH streetcar suburb with a walkable commercial center that evolved to serve its residents like East Atlanta and L5P.
L5P isn't in the conversation here being fully gentrified and only 8% Black. East Atlanta, though, is also considered (almost) fully gentrified and about half its population is Black. I think it will remain more or less evenly integrated for the foreseeable future. Castleberry Hill is on the other end of the spectrum, being almost 80% Black but it only has about 1800 people and covers three or four different zip codes and Census tracts, so it's less a neighborhood and more a district.
I saw that Centennial Yards is moving forward downtown. What impact do you think it will have on Castleberry Hill and the AUC? Do you think it will impact the demographics of the neighborhoods and entertainment options?
