Population density is the number of people per unit of area, usually transcribed as "per square kilometer" or square mile, and which may include or exclude, for example, areas of water or glaciers. Commonly this is calculated for a county, city, country, another territory or the entire world. The world's population is around 8,000,000,000 [3 ...
This is a list of countries and dependencies ranked by population density, sorted by inhabitants per square kilometre or square mile. The list includes sovereign states and self-governing dependent territories based upon the ISO standard ISO 3166-1. The list also includes unrecognized but de facto independent countries.
Scrope's 1833 map of world population density, possibly the first dasymetric map. The earliest maps using this kind of approach include an 1833 map of world population density by George Julius Poulett Scrope [4] and an 1838 map of population density in Ireland by Henry Drury Harness, although the methods used to create these maps were never documented.
This is a list of countries showing past and future population density, ranging from 1950 to 2100, as estimated by the 2017 revision of the World Population Prospects database by the United Nations Population Division. The population density equals the number of human inhabitants per square kilometer of land area.
Area and population of European countries. This is a list of countries and territories in Europe by population density. Data are from the United Nations unless otherwise specified. [1][2] Abkhazia, Georgia and South Ossetia are each bordered on the north by the Greater Caucasus, and may have some territory north of these mountains and thus in ...
The city's population density of 29,091.3 people per square mile (11,232/km 2), makes it the densest of any American municipality with a population above 100,000. [23] Manhattan's population density is 74,781 people per square mile (28,872/km 2), highest of any county in the United States. [24] [16] New York City is multicultural.
The Demography of the World Population from 1950 to 2100. Data source: United Nations — World Population Prospects 2017. Demography (from Ancient Greek δῆμος (dêmos) 'people, society' and -γραφία (-graphía) 'writing, drawing, description') [1] is the statistical study of human populations: their size, composition (e.g., ethnic group, age), and how they change through the ...
The physiological density or real population density is the number of people per unit area of arable land. A higher physiological density suggests that the available agricultural land is being used by more and may reach its output limit sooner than a country that has a lower physiological density. Egypt is a notable example, with physiological ...
