high-density

Concentrated in space

High-density describes something packed tightly with a large amount of material, people, or data relative to its size or space.

A high-density neighborhood has many residents per square mile, while high-density foam is compressed and firm.

In computing and data storage, it refers to media that holds more information in the same physical space: high-density disks.

The term often appears in urban planning, materials science, and technology contexts where maximizing capacity within limited space matters.
