I found a mention online that the average household size in Hong Kong is 3 people (in 2006).
So that's 20,000 people over 60 floors, 3 per apartment. That's 100 apartments on a floor! They must be incredibly compact if those numbers are correct.

- ddeck 13y agoThe 20k figure would be referring to the development, which would be several "blocks" (i.e. independent buildings crammed next to each other). The average household size is still 3 (bit lower in public housing) with average living space per person of ~140 square feet. Keep in mind that those 140 square feet are measured based on the outside of the building!
