If the world's population crammed into NYC
7.8 billion people would be in 305 square miles
that's 7.8 billion divided by 305 = the number in each square mile
7.8 x 10^9/305 = .026 x 10^9 = 2.6 x 10^7 people per mi^2
about 26 million per square mile
each square mile is 1760 square yards
2.6 x 10^7/1760^2 people per square yard, a 3 foot by 3 foot area
= 2.6x10^7/5280^2 = 4.9 x 10^4/5280 = 10 people per square foot, 12 inches by 12 inches
they may be 10 people standing on top of each other, every 12 inches
It's a little crowded.
