  Inclusive J/$\psi$ yields and average transverse momenta in p-Pb collisions
at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 8.16 TeV are
measured as a function of the charged-particle pseudorapidity density with
ALICE. The J/$\psi$ mesons are reconstructed at forward $(2.03 < y_{\rm cms} <
3.53)$ and backward ($-4.46 < y_{\rm cms} < -2.96$) center-of-mass rapidity in
their dimuon decay channel while the charged-particle pseudorapidity density is
measured around midrapidity. The J/$\psi$ yields at forward and backward
rapidity normalized to their respective average values increase with the
normalized charged-particle pseudorapidity density, the former showing a weaker
increase than the latter. The normalized average transverse momenta at forward
and backward rapidity manifest a steady increase from low to high
charged-particle pseudorapidity density with a saturation beyond the average
value.
