crowdedness
Too many people
Crowdedness is the state of being crowded—filled with more people or things than feels comfortable.
The word measures density against expectation: a subway car's crowdedness during rush hour, the crowdedness of a beach in summer.
It captures not just how many but how it feels: The crowdedness of the waiting room made everyone irritable.
