Why is population density more useful than the figure for the total population?

Population Density = Total Population Divided By Total Area.In a simpler way, population over area

The formula for calculating density is: Population density= Total population divided by total area. Simply, if you have a scientific calculator, do the population over area.

You divide total population by total land area. The definition of population density is the total amount of people in a pre-determined area.

Columbia has a population density of 1,044 people. The total population is 44,400,00 people!!!!

To calculate density, divide the total mass by the total volume. The result is the density.

To find the population density for a city, state, country, or region, divide the total number of people living there by the ground area. The result will be a figure in persons per square kilometer, or persons per square mile.

The population density of the US is 32/km2. To find the population density of a place, you divide the total population by the area of the place. US - Population : 313,839,000 Area : 9,826,675 km2

It ranks 31st in total population and 32nd in population density.

The total human population of Mars is zero.

Mumbai's population density is 28,834/KM sq. where as its total area is 437.77 KM sq Delhi's population density is 9294/ KM sq where as its total area is 1483 KM sq.

Oregon ranks 27th in total population and 39th in population density.

Count the population (a census) and have surveyors establish the total area in which this population lives. Divide the population by the area to find population per unit area (density).

The arithmetic density of a population is the total number of people in proportion to the area of land (land size) The physiological density of a population is the total population in proportion to the area of arable land. Therefore, the arithmetic density of a population is always lower than the physiological density, since a land's arable portion can only be a subset of it's full size. Arithmetic = (Population/Full size) Physiological = (Population/Arable zones)

Because its the density that puts more pressure on the resources

The United Kingdom has a population density of 676 people per square mile. The total population of the UK is 63.2 million people.

Divide the total number of individuals by the total number of whichever units of area you are using. For example, in 2011 there were 3,063,500 people living in Wales. The total area of Wales is 20,779 km². 3,063,500 / 20,779 = 147.43250397 Therefore the population density of Wales in 2011 was 147 per km² (rounded figure).

(Total population)divided by(total square miles)=Population per square mile

The population map shows The population Density over an area..... Some maps use different colors to depict the information.... Population Density = Total population / Area

Population density refers to the number of people per unit area. To calculate the population density in per sq miles, divide the total population in the area by the area in sq miles.

total population / amount of arable land

Arkansas ranks: * 29th in total area. * 32nd in total population. * 34th in population density.

The state of Texas covers a total of 268,581 square miles and has a population of 26,448,193. The population density is 98.1 people per square mile.

The population density of Alberta, Canada is 12.9 people per square mile. Alberta has a total population of 3.29 million people.

Singapore has a total population of 5,399,200 and an area of 276 square miles. Therefore, it's population density is about 19,863 per square mile.

As of January 1, 2010, the population of Great Britain was 62,041,708. Her population density was 660 persons per square mile (or 255 per km2).
