Well, first of all, I messed up. I took my Workers per Acre figure and read it as Dwellings per Acre, so it was really meant to be about half as high for MDR (36 dwellings per acre) and HDR (324 dwellings per acre).
On sources I found
two sources on the internet, which talked about dwellings per acre. They both stopped at about 200 units per acre, and low rise apartment complexes, so I figured even taller buildings could get about 50% more dense.
Beyond this these hold the averages problem; some LDR buildings are going to be huge houses with grounds, others might be tiny houses. Some MDR might be semi-detached townhouses or brownstones, others might be twelve story condo units. Some HDR are low-rise apartments, others are futuristic cities in a scraper.
