City planners measure density by how tall new buildings can be, and by people per block. The experience of density can also be defined as people per household. In tall Manhattan, households are small, 2 people on average, while Brooklyn has 2.7 people per household. But in the proposed East New York rezoning area, there are 3.4 people per household. Below is the household density of all census blocks in NYC. See WNYC's report on the rezoning.
