That's because neighborhood boundaries are totally arbitrary, especially when one neighborhood's boundaries includes parks and other uninhabitable land, and the other does not. The contiguous urban part of Seattle's Capitol Hill - bounded by Union to the South, Aloha to the North, I-5 to the West and 15th to the East - is about the same size as Denver's Capitol Hill and, as the Census Tracts map clearly indicates for these two areas, Seattle's Capitol Hill is about twice as dense. This has nothing to do with retail corridors, although Seattle's Capitol Hill has more and denser retail corridors as well.
