Reposting this from last year, but on this topic, here are some of Canada's
densest neighbourhoods. From the City of Toronto's neighbourhood profiles, it has 4 neighbourhoods with population density levels exceeding 40,000/sqkm, as of the 2021 census:
North St. James Town
Population: 18,535
Density: 44,602/sqkm
Yonge-Doris (the eastern half of North York Centre)
Population: 20,160
Density: 44,126/sqkm
Church-Wellesley (adjacent to St. James Town above)
Population: 22,320
Density: 40,755/sqkm
North Toronto (Yonge & Eglinton area)
Population: 15,885
Density: 40,018/sqkm
There are also another 5 neighbourhoods with densities of over 20,000/sqkm:
Wellington Place (Entertainment District area)
Population: 25,570
Density: 26,254/sqkm
Harbourfront
Population: 28,135
Density: 25,178/sqkm
Bay-Cloverhill (adjacent to Church-Wellesley)
Population: 16,670
Density: 25,130/sqkm
Downtown Yonge East (adjacent to Church-Wellesley)
Population: 17,700
Density: 22,532/sqkm
Regent Park
Population: 12,750

Now, also worth noting that a lot of these neighbourhoods are pretty arbitrarily defined and can be weirdly small which can give an apparent boost to the density figures. Vancouver's "official" neighbourhoods meanwhile tend to be larger in size (with less statistical granularity as a result - eg. Yaletown and Olympic Village would exceed >20,000/sqkm but aren't considered "neighbourhoods" in the official sense), and I've been having a hard time finding data for many of Montreal's neighbouhoods; but a few other Canadian neighbourhoods in this density range would include:
West End, Vancouver
Population: 47,200 (2016)
Density: 23,838/sqkm
Shaughnessy Village, Montreal
Population: 15,677 (2016)
Density: 22,396/sqkm
Park Extension, Montreal
Population: 33,800 (2006)
Density: 21,000/sqkm
