After chasing a few pointers you end up at this post which defines weighted density: http://austinzoning.typepad.com/austincontrarian/2008/03/per...

I agree that it looks like a much more useful statistic than ordinary density, and is relatively insensitive to arbitrary inclusion / exclusion decisions of outlying areas like the grandparent complains about. Thanks for linking that site.

Glad you found it useful. The census bureau itself shifted to tract weighted density with the 2010 census, but I couldn't find a good city ranking on their site.
