If we look at the amount of vacant lots from let's say Lehigh all the way to Ridge and Broad river to river we can determine that the population from the 50's and before was more densely populated in those 4 corners.

Now the population is even more denser in the areas between Spring Garden/Girard to Washington Ave River to River.

Thats not including the many Rowhomes and Apt Buildings that were razed, destroyed or rebuilt between that time and now with less or more people on those same lots.

Now that brings up the fact the reason why we have a mostly lets say 95% full housing rate in Northeast Philly and the population still isn't at 2 million, because for a while the population was more spread out over the area.

Philly's City Boundary is pretty big to if we would have annexed a little more we would be the size of NYC.

Also when were homes in W Philly starting to be built?
