Useless fact of the day.

Given the New Territories, that doesn't seem surprising; there's still a whole lot of nothing up there. FWIW, just HK Island (which has its own share of green space) is at 16,390/km², and Kowloon's population density is 43,033/km².

No argument on the New Territories.

For what it's worth, both Somerville and the S.A.R. are more densely populated than Gibraltar, at 4,328/km². But Singapore (7,315/km²) is more densely populated than either.

After a while this gets meaningless, because the population density of the chair I'm sitting on right now is much, much higher than even Kowloon's population density.

I did say it was a useless fact of the day. :)
