What is population density?

Population density is a measurement of the number of people living in a specific area, usually expressed as the number of people per square kilometer or square mile. It is calculated by dividing the total population of an area by its total land area. Population density can vary greatly between different regions and is often used to assess the level of urbanization and development in a particular area.

Population density is the number of individuals of a population per unit of area or volume. It is a statistical measure of the degree of crowding of a population in a defined space. Population density is calculated by dividing the total population by the total area or volume of the habitat occupied by the population. The population density of a species can vary greatly depending on the availability of resources, the presence of predators, and the species' life history traits.
