Population density of selected places (in thousands per square mile) --

69  Manhattan
35  Brooklyn
33  Bronx
21  Queens
17  San Francisco
13  Boston
12  Chicago

If I recall, Queens was the worst hit borough right?  Manhattan was the least hit?

Half of Queens isn't rich neighborhoods where people can work from home like Manhattan, but they are disproportionately likely to be essential workers taking the subway to work. Also, Queens gets a density reduction thanks to a bunch of shoreline and two airports that have few people living in them distorting their density per livable mile. And as someone said, Manhattan had a lot of folks flee the city.
