Hypothetically, the entire population of the world could fit into Texas, with a population density about 5-10% higher than that of Manhattan

Hypothetically, it could probably fit in NYC. According to statista.com, there's just under 240 million square feet of office space just in midtown Manhattan:

Considering most people take up around 1 square foot of ground while standing, you could probably stuff everyone into NYC if they were all standing. The vast majority would probably die relatively quickly, though, if everyone was forced to remain for any extended length of time.
