minneapolis' uptown area and columbus' short north are the closest parallels, statistically speaking.

I do broadly agree with this. My only point was a lot of the neighborhoods which are dense in terms of population aren't all that dense in terms of built form, or even number of households.

Looking on Social Explorer at the 2016 ACS data, this is wrong. The five tracts which make up Over-The-Rhine have densities of 14,770, 14,336, 12,252, 7,919, and 7,012.
