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.

∙ 15y agoDivide the number of people(or units) by the number of square miles(or area) they inhabit. (example: 8,000,000 new yorkers/322 square miles = population density of 24,845/sq.mi.) People divided by square miles Example: There are about 13000 people in New Ulm, MN. A town covering approximately 10 mi2. 13000/10=1300 people/sq mi

Why is population density more useful than the figure for the total population?
Total population does not tell you how many people live in a certain area, where as population density does
What does the arithmetic population density not tell us?
It doesn't tell us anything about population distribution in individual countries.
What is inverse population density?
Inverse population density is when the population density decreases, the population growth rate also decreases. This is opposite to density dependent because here the population growth rate decreaes as population density increases.
What does the range of population tell you that density does not?
The range of population indicates whether the entire area is developed (urbanized) or if the population is divided between densely and sparsely populated areas. The average density may be much lower than the maximum density.Also: The population's range is descriptive of the area that the population habitates.
Which continent has the greatest population and density?
Asia is the continent with the greatest population and density.

What is Somalia's population density?

How do you population density?
Dividing the population by the area the population occupies gives population density.
How do you get population density?
Population density is calculated by dividing the total population of a specific area (such as a city, region, or country) by the land area of that same area. This calculation provides a measure of how crowded or concentrated the population is within that geographic area.
How can you use population density in a sentence?
A sentence for population density: The population density of Boston, Massachusetts is 13,184 people per square mile. Population density is a noun.
How can we compute population density?
by dividing the population of the country to the square density so divide both of them and you get the population density!!
What does the range of population tell you that density does not?
The range of population indicates whether the entire area is developed (urbanized) or if the population is divided between densely and sparsely populated areas. The average density may be much lower than the maximum density.Also: The population's range is descriptive of the area that the population habitates.
What is population inversion?
Inverse population density is when the population density decreases, the population growth rate also decreases. This is opposite to density dependent because here the population growth rate decreaes as population density increases.
What does population density map show?
Population density, I guess
