Population density & demographics

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. A region has a population of 2280 people and a land area of 19 km². Calculate its population density.
120 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 2280 ÷ 19 = 120 people/km².
2. A region has a population of 506 people and a land area of 11 km². Calculate its population density.
46 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 506 ÷ 11 = 46 people/km².
3. A region has a population of 688 people and a land area of 8 km². Calculate its population density.
86 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 688 ÷ 8 = 86 people/km².
4. A region has a population of 68 people and a land area of 2 km². Calculate its population density.
34 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 68 ÷ 2 = 34 people/km².
5. A region has a population of 624 people and a land area of 12 km². Calculate its population density.
52 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 624 ÷ 12 = 52 people/km².
6. A region has a population of 2227 people and a land area of 17 km². Calculate its population density.
131 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 2227 ÷ 17 = 131 people/km².
7. A region has a population of 672 people and a land area of 14 km². Calculate its population density.
48 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 672 ÷ 14 = 48 people/km².
8. A region has a population of 2499 people and a land area of 17 km². Calculate its population density.
147 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 2499 ÷ 17 = 147 people/km².
9. A region has a population of 387 people and a land area of 3 km². Calculate its population density.
129 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 387 ÷ 3 = 129 people/km².
10. A region has a population of 350 people and a land area of 10 km². Calculate its population density.
35 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 350 ÷ 10 = 35 people/km².
11. A region has a population of 1716 people and a land area of 12 km². Calculate its population density.
143 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1716 ÷ 12 = 143 people/km².
12. A region has a population of 1992 people and a land area of 24 km². Calculate its population density.
83 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1992 ÷ 24 = 83 people/km².
