Population density & demographics

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

  1. 1. A region has a population of 252 people and a land area of 12 km². Calculate its population density.

    21 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 252 ÷ 12 = 21 people/km².

  2. 2. A region has a population of 395 people and a land area of 5 km². Calculate its population density.

    79 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 395 ÷ 5 = 79 people/km².

  3. 3. A region has a population of 1957 people and a land area of 19 km². Calculate its population density.

    103 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 1957 ÷ 19 = 103 people/km².

  4. 4. A region has a population of 2900 people and a land area of 20 km². Calculate its population density.

    145 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 2900 ÷ 20 = 145 people/km².

  5. 5. A region has a population of 1995 people and a land area of 19 km². Calculate its population density.

    105 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 1995 ÷ 19 = 105 people/km².

  6. 6. A region has a population of 304 people and a land area of 4 km². Calculate its population density.

    76 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 304 ÷ 4 = 76 people/km².

  7. 7. A region has a population of 58 people and a land area of 2 km². Calculate its population density.

    29 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 58 ÷ 2 = 29 people/km².

  8. 8. A region has a population of 1170 people and a land area of 9 km². Calculate its population density.

    130 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 1170 ÷ 9 = 130 people/km².

  9. 9. A region has a population of 649 people and a land area of 11 km². Calculate its population density.

    59 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 649 ÷ 11 = 59 people/km².

  10. 10. A region has a population of 1500 people and a land area of 20 km². Calculate its population density.

    75 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 1500 ÷ 20 = 75 people/km².

  11. 11. A region has a population of 1598 people and a land area of 17 km². Calculate its population density.

    94 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 1598 ÷ 17 = 94 people/km².

  12. 12. A region has a population of 600 people and a land area of 20 km². Calculate its population density.

    30 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 600 ÷ 20 = 30 people/km².
