Jennifer Garcia on 06 Sep 11Population density Population density is the number of people in a given area (usually given as persons per sq. km.). To find this figure the total population is divided by the area. Density can be shown on a choropleth map which shows the average density across regions. This is easy to read but disguises major population concentrations.
