Can I say that the definition of 'overcrowding'is: 'having too many people' or 'the state of having too many people'?

Not exactly, because it implies the discomfort or unsanitary, unsafe and unpleasant conditions caused by that state.

Thanks for your help.
If 'containing too many people' is used to define 'overcrowded' in Cambridge Dictionary, does 'having' not enjoy the same status in the definition and should define 'overcrowded' accordingly?
