I don't know how to do that. But tract 53.04 in the U District was 124,339/sm in 2020 per the Census map (53033005304) mostly due to UW-owned dorms.
The others in in that range by the next census will reflect current U-C projects and others I expect to start soon, two or three clusters of mostly 44-story apartments on the north side of Downtown, at least one more tract in the U District (which is going nuts with student housing these days), and maybe a tract on First Hill like at Yesler Terrace. It'll depend how current tracts are broken up, but it's possible we'll have some tracts in the multiple hundreds of thousands.
The peak block in terms of residents will be one with 1,700 units on less than two acres in four towers, two U-C with 1,130 so far and the others looking like potential near-term starts. With its share of streets it would be about three acres. If they add the block to the west that would be another 700 units, for a total of maybe 3,600 residents in six acres. Let's call it 6.4 for symmetry. That could be 360,000/sm if so.

Which tract is that on the census reporter website? Can you please post the link?
There are, just nowhere near enough to double the population density as is it currently stands.
Yes, there actually are. First, many of the buildings that delivered in Navy Yard were after the 2020 census. Second, you’re underestimating the amount of lots left in the neighborhood. Have you counted the lots?
On a side note, I was talking about a census tract being over 125,000+ people per square mile. Are you disputing that?

Nobody can dispute something that doesn’t exist yet by your own admission.
Pretty easy to win an argument about what could possibly be in 2035.

I know many of the buildings were delivered post 2020. This is the entire list of what was in the pipeline, what’s been completed and the blocks they sit on. https://www.capitolriverfront.org/do...re/development
Do the math.
Regarding census tract density. It’s that high because the tract consists of two buildings. Chicago has a census tract that is +500k ppsm because it’s happens to be one residential skyscraper
Pretty much any city that has adjacent residential skyscrapers next to each other in a 2-3 acres would have a census tract that high. Seattle being an example of that as mhays pointed out.

Please refer to my post about Mt. Vernon Triangle. You're counting empty buildings in lease up when you refer to Navy Yard population.
I think something that’s going to hinder these office to residential transitions is, well office vacancy is way up from 2019 when it was often 5% or something, but both Boston and Philly are between 19 and 20% right now. DC is 20.3%. While there are buildings that are high enough to want to flip. Due to hybrid work there is a big drop in daily footfall that’s not necessarily reflected in an equal drop in office demand.
If people come in 3 days a week, you still need the office even though now there is a 40% drop in Downtown population on any given day attributed to that company.
Chicago is at 22.6%. Which means which considering the size of those high rises there are probably not a huge amount of buildings that are more than 30% empty.
Monumental news out of the White House today. DC’s Federal real estate footprint in Downtown DC position’s DC to benefit more than any other city in the nation due to this news.
