Question

Write the formula for population density.

Hint:

Population density gives an average number of people living in a given area. It is a key metric in geography, urban planning, and demography.

Answer 1

Population density is a measurement of population per unit area. The formula is expressed as:
[1ex] \[ \text{Population Density} = \frac{\text{Total Population}}{\text{Land Area}} \] where:

• \(\text{Total Population}\) is the number of individuals in the population.
• \(\text{Land Area}\) is the area occupied by the population, typically measured in square kilometers (\(\text{km}^2\)) or square miles.
