Reply to comment by DaveOJ12 in TIL all 8 of the most densely populated towns in the US (and 9 of the top 10) are either in New Jersey or New York by snakkerdudaniel

I think they're trying to point out that while Guttenberg, NJ is the post densely populated city in the US it is only 23rd in the world.

Well that would be a super dumb point to make, seeing as there’s more than 4,000 places defined as “cities” with a population above 150k, so being 23rd is very close to the top

I didn't say their point wasn't dumb especially since OP states the list is specifically about the US. Also, population only kind of plays into what this threat is about as Guttenberg only has a population of 11.1k vs NYC itself being #6 with a population of almost 8.2 million. The area of a city has just as much play in density.
