NYC has the largest density of any American city as well as the largest population in the US. Miami is the fourth most densest primary core city in the country, behind only NYC, SF, and Boston, and only eclipsing Chicago, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC. It's also the ninth densest city w/ a population of over 100K people.

It's also fair to say that with the exception of Buffalo, which had seen surprising growth in it's city limits, the rest of Upstate NY, had seen very little or stagnant growth, to the point where Rochester, then the third largest city in NY State, lost it's position to Yonkers, which is just north of the Bronx.

NYC does dominate everything in NYS to the point where about 44% of the state's population lives in NYC while FL is evenly spread out in South FL, Southwest FL, Tampa Bay, Greater Orlando, and Greater Jacksonville. In a few years, it will be pretty apparent that FL will most definitely surpass NY in density as well as in population and another state where FL may have a chance in beating is Maryland, so long as it maintains very robust growth to the point where it can stay even with MD's density. And if that were the case today, than FL would have an eye popping population of 34,105,500.

Are you sure this is referencing population and not mentality?

I said what I said, Miami is the fourth densest major core city in the US as of today!

FL = 421.64524 ppsm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida)
NY = 415.295506 ppsm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_(state))

I guess FL is officially the 7th densest state in the Union now!!! (2023 US Census)
