Answer:

7686 people per square mile

Explanation:

The total area of the coastal city = 92.1 square miles

Area covered by water = 11.3 square miles

Population of the city in 2010 = 621,000

Now we use the formula

Population density =
(Number of people)/(Land area)

=
(621,000)/((92.1-11.3)) = 7686 people

The population density 7686 people per square mile of land area of the city at that time.
