That's up from 2011
Population: 1,101,023
Weighted Density: 7,228 ppsm
A relatively significant increase in weighted density, in terms of per year % increase in weighted density, only Portland got denser faster from 2000 to 2010, and that's starting at a lower base since Portland is barely half as dense so the net increase per year is still significantly less. It does help that Calgary is growing rapidly though, giving it the potential to change its weighted density faster by "sprawling denser" and infill.
The increase was smaller than for 2006-2011 though, even though there was a definite increase in rate of infill with the inner city growing by about 8-10% for 2011-2016 vs about a third of that rate for 2006-2011.
2006: 6488 ppsm
2011: 7228 ppsm
2016: 7572 ppsm
Perhaps the "sprawling denser" is having less of an impact?
