Wow, that's a really cool stat. I figured I would fact check it with some quick googling. Here are the results of that:
NYC population density: 26,403 / sq mi
area of Texas: 268,580 sq mi
pop of Texas if it had density of NYC: 7,091,317,740
pop of the world 7.125 billion
So yes, it is not only cool, but also correct. Nice.
BTW, for those of us in the rest of the world, dumb question maybe, but when people say NYC, what exactly does that mean? Manhattan? 5 boroughs? Something else?
