This work constitutes a contribution to Problem 146 of Ulam and Erdős’s Scottish Book problems [R. D. Mauldin, The Scottish Book. Mathematics from the Scottish Café. With selected problems from the New Scottish Book. 2nd updated and enlarged edition. Cham: Birkhäuser/Springer (2015; Zbl 1331.01039)], on how fast the ratio in the strong density theorem of Saks will tend to one. Under some technical conditions, one has: $\frac{|R \cap K|}{|R|} > 1- o \biggl( \frac{1}{|\log d(R)|}\biggr) \text{ for a.e. } x\in K \text{ and as } d(R) \rightarrow 0,$ where $$K$$ is a compact set in $$\mathbb{R}^n$$, $$R$$ is an interval in $$\mathbb{R}^n$$, $$d$$ stands for the diameter, and $$\left| \cdot \right|$$ is the Lebesgue measure.
