  We consider a large neutral atom of atomic number $Z$, taking relativistic
effects into account by assuming the dispersion relation $\sqrt{c^2p^2+c^4}$.
We study the behavior of the one-particle ground state density on the length
scale $Z^{-1}$ in the limit $Z,c\to\infty$ keeping $Z/c$ fixed and find that
the spherically averaged density as well as all individual angular momentum
densities separately converge to the relativistic hydrogenic ones. This proves
the generalization of the strong Scott conjecture for relativistic atoms and
shows, in particular, that relativistic effects occur close to the nucleus.
Along the way we prove upper bounds on the relativistic hydrogenic density.
