Population density formula
The formula for calculating population density is:
PD = TP / LA
- PD = Population density – per square meter or per square miles
- TP = Total Population
- LA = Land Area – square km, square miles
How to calculate population density?
To calculate population density,
Here are the steps to calculate population density:
- Determine the total population
- Determine the land area – as square kilometers (km²) or square miles (mi²).
- Divide the total population by the land area
For example – What is the population density of a city which is spread over 25 square meters and has a population of 50,000?
To calculate the population density then used formula
PD = Total population/land area in a square unit
Population Density = 50,000 / 25 = 2,000 people per km²
Population density of a town = 2,000 people per km².
