Well, Queens is about 75% cemeteries by land use. (Population figures don't include dead people, I assume.)
Kidding, but there is more land for industrial and commercial use in Queens that isn't residential. Including two airports and three sizable sports facilities. Brooklyn by contrast has almost no interruptions to the edge-to-edge residential street grid.

Really throws the population density off for the city, throws the density off even for Queens itself -- the western part near manhattan is dense, especially compared to most of LA.
