It can help city planners determine if a part of the city is overcrowded. For instance, some areas in low income neighborhoods of Los Angeles may have 3-4 families living in one house or apartment. They can tell this by knowing the population density of these areas are around 150,000 people/sq mile.

What is the difference between arithmetic density and physiological 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)
