Population density

 



Population density is a measurement of the number of people living per unit of area, usually per square kilometer or square mile. It’s calculated by dividing the population of a region by the area of that region.

Key Points:

- High Population Density: Indicates a large number of people living in a relatively small area. Common in urban regions, such as cities.

- Low Population Density: Indicates fewer people spread out over a larger area. Common in rural or remote areas.

Significance:

- Urban Planning: High population density can strain resources like housing, transportation, and public services, necessitating careful urban planning.

- Environmental Impact: High-density areas may experience more pollution and waste, while low-density areas may have more land available for agriculture or conservation.

- Economic Factors: Dense populations often support a variety of businesses and services due to higher demand, while sparse populations may struggle to sustain certain economic activities.


Population density is an important factor in understanding the social, economic, and environmental dynamics of a region.
