Population density & demographics

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. A region has a population of 800 people and a land area of 16 km². Calculate its population density.
50 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 800 ÷ 16 = 50 people/km².
2. A region has a population of 219 people and a land area of 3 km². Calculate its population density.
73 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 219 ÷ 3 = 73 people/km².
3. A region has a population of 2992 people and a land area of 22 km². Calculate its population density.
136 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 2992 ÷ 22 = 136 people/km².
4. A region has a population of 576 people and a land area of 16 km². Calculate its population density.
36 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 576 ÷ 16 = 36 people/km².
5. A region has a population of 1764 people and a land area of 21 km². Calculate its population density.

6. A region has a population of 1131 people and a land area of 13 km². Calculate its population density.
87 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1131 ÷ 13 = 87 people/km².
7. A region has a population of 507 people and a land area of 13 km². Calculate its population density.
39 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 507 ÷ 13 = 39 people/km².
8. A region has a population of 336 people and a land area of 6 km². Calculate its population density.
56 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 336 ÷ 6 = 56 people/km².
9. A region has a population of 182 people and a land area of 13 km². Calculate its population density.
14 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 182 ÷ 13 = 14 people/km².
10. A region has a population of 424 people and a land area of 8 km². Calculate its population density.
53 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 424 ÷ 8 = 53 people/km².
11. A region has a population of 2235 people and a land area of 15 km². Calculate its population density.
149 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 2235 ÷ 15 = 149 people/km².
12. A region has a population of 786 people and a land area of 6 km². Calculate its population density.
131 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 786 ÷ 6 = 131 people/km².
