According to the 2021 data, the population density of that small area was only slightly above the CoV's average of ~4,800 per square km, which is what I think we would expect considering the lowrise housing forms there.
But if the population of that small area was ~1,500 then the density would be just under 13,000 per square km, or more than 2.5 times as dense as the CoV's average.

Railyards residential development in Vic West complete after 21 yearsThe Railyards’ colourful playground with a splash area is the newest and final piece in the site’s 21-year build-out where residential buildings have been constructed on top of what was once a bleak former industrial site in Vic West.When developer Chris Le Fevre first walked the 13-acre property it was a “wasteland.” The former CN railyard had been remediated but left undeveloped until Le Fevre bought it for just over $3 million.Today, close to 500 condominiums and townhouses have become homes to about 1,500 people. Le Fevre said he has spent nearly $400 million. Of that, more than $10 million went on amenities. About 30 per cent of the homes are townhouses and the rest are condos.I sense a lot of figures above are inaccurate. Mr. Le Fevre a bit of a fibber.1. I suspect the number of residents is closer to 1,000, than 1,500. Canada averages under 2.5 people per household.2. He says he spent nearly $400 million. But $400m divided by 500 units would be an average of $800,000. That's not accurate. There are 6 units listed for sale today, only two are over $800,000. Ten years ago I suspect nothing sold much over $500,000.
It's not complete until they take the blue metal fence down.
