Another in an occasional series on weighted density .
Below the jump I discuss a rather odd feature of weighted density: It can fall even as a city's standard density rises. This is truly a feature and not a bug, though, because it allows weighted density to yield some interesting information about how a city is growing.
Again, the point of weighted density is to capture the density at which the average person lives. Rather than divide...

Barnes' weighted-density stats
Gary Barnes' weighted-density calculations (pdf) for 31 U.S. urbanized areas are below.Our numbers are very close for some cities. I got a perceived density of 33,000 ppsm for New York; he...
