Actually a better question would be what would your city's population be if it had 17,000 people per square mile. Dallas for example, would have 4,811,000 people.
Every major city would have a huge increase except NYC itself, which would actually decline since its a bit more dense than SF to begin with(of course).

Nice try How about we do your question with Hoboken, Union City, Huntington Park, or Maywood?
That's really a difficult task to do. How is anybody going to find a source that will allow them to square off a certain 47 square miles of their city and to then come up with an accurate population density figure? I guarantee you NYC will be the only one with a higher Pop density.
Luckily, I know Hudson County NJ is literally 47 square miles. That has a population density of 13,044. Mind you, this county is home to the densest cities iin the nation (Union city, Hoboken, West New York, Guttenberg etc- And Jersey city is the 3rd densest major city after NYC & SF) and even with these claims, SF comes still beats out HC in terms of Pop Density.. So you're really not going to find much else close to SF's 17,462 PPSM other than Boston/Hudson County.
I made it bigger than I expected. I measured from Montrose going west.
Eliminating the inner loop part you get about 10,000 ppsm
