Population density & demographics

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. A region has a population of 2328 people and a land area of 24 km². Calculate its population density.
97 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 2328 ÷ 24 = 97 people/km².
2. A region has a population of 1110 people and a land area of 15 km². Calculate its population density.
74 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1110 ÷ 15 = 74 people/km².
3. A region has a population of 44 people and a land area of 2 km². Calculate its population density.
22 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 44 ÷ 2 = 22 people/km².
4. A region has a population of 1872 people and a land area of 13 km². Calculate its population density.
144 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1872 ÷ 13 = 144 people/km².
5. A region has a population of 1179 people and a land area of 9 km². Calculate its population density.
131 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1179 ÷ 9 = 131 people/km².
6. A region has a population of 975 people and a land area of 13 km². Calculate its population density.
75 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 975 ÷ 13 = 75 people/km².
7. A region has a population of 580 people and a land area of 5 km². Calculate its population density.
116 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 580 ÷ 5 = 116 people/km².
8. A region has a population of 1150 people and a land area of 10 km². Calculate its population density.
115 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1150 ÷ 10 = 115 people/km².
9. A region has a population of 2700 people and a land area of 18 km². Calculate its population density.
150 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 2700 ÷ 18 = 150 people/km².
10. A region has a population of 399 people and a land area of 21 km². Calculate its population density.
19 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 399 ÷ 21 = 19 people/km².
11. A region has a population of 396 people and a land area of 3 km². Calculate its population density.
132 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 396 ÷ 3 = 132 people/km².
12. A region has a population of 2875 people and a land area of 25 km². Calculate its population density.
115 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 2875 ÷ 25 = 115 people/km².
