Wikipedia has Manhattan population density >69,000 per sq mile which is a record I think

Historically, Manhattan once was a separate city from Brooklyn until they were merged together 150 years ago I think it was

So because a city has less than 69,000 per square mile....that makes it less dense than Manhattan? By that same logic, your argument is flawed because you are picking part of a city for that statistic, as has already been pointed out.

Seoul South Korea shows 42,000 per sq mile which is more than the other boroughs except Manhattan

Tokyo population density is equal to Brooklyn

Even Hong Kong and Calcutta aren’t as a whole as densely packed as Manhattan?

Find me a Wikipedia location more densely packed with people than Manhattan

you refer to Manhattan rather than NYC as a whole

considering the whole New York City, it does not make the top 67 most populated cities in the world but if cities are compared
to Manhattan it ranks 9th
