I think we'll end up around 3700 pop/sq. mi., maybe 3850.

I believe Austin has more residents in it's downtown (around 15k) than any other Texas city. That is way impressive considering our relative size compared to 1-3.
I'm not sure what the numbers for West Campus are these days, but I think it was getting close to 20k around 10 years ago. (I could be mis-remembering.) So I'm guessing West Campus may be close to 25k or so now. Add in the densification going on east of downtown (and whatever the population is there now), and those are some pretty good numbers.
The core of Austin is probably more dense than any part of Texas. It certainly feels more urban than any other part of Texas.
