You say you want to see differences between three cities.
Presumably there are several data for each city (census
tracts, or whatever). In this case, a graph will
surely be the first thing to try and something like
-tabstat- the second thing to try. After these, a more
formal modelling approach is superfluous or dubious or
both. In addition to comments made by other people,
note that your density values will surely be spatially
autocorrelated. This makes any P-values coming out of
almost any formal model without a spatial
element close to nonsensical.
