Population density & demographics

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

  1. 1. A region has a population of 1335 people and a land area of 15 km². Calculate its population density.

    89 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 1335 ÷ 15 = 89 people/km².

  2. 2. A region has a population of 2040 people and a land area of 20 km². Calculate its population density.

    102 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 2040 ÷ 20 = 102 people/km².

  3. 3. A region has a population of 360 people and a land area of 12 km². Calculate its population density.

    30 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 360 ÷ 12 = 30 people/km².

  4. 4. A region has a population of 2185 people and a land area of 23 km². Calculate its population density.

    95 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 2185 ÷ 23 = 95 people/km².

  5. 5. A region has a population of 52 people and a land area of 4 km². Calculate its population density.

    13 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 52 ÷ 4 = 13 people/km².

  6. 6. A region has a population of 969 people and a land area of 17 km². Calculate its population density.

    57 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 969 ÷ 17 = 57 people/km².

  7. 7. A region has a population of 1648 people and a land area of 16 km². Calculate its population density.

    103 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 1648 ÷ 16 = 103 people/km².

  8. 8. A region has a population of 2882 people and a land area of 22 km². Calculate its population density.

    131 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 2882 ÷ 22 = 131 people/km².

  9. 9. A region has a population of 3168 people and a land area of 24 km². Calculate its population density.

    132 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 3168 ÷ 24 = 132 people/km².

  10. 10. A region has a population of 480 people and a land area of 12 km². Calculate its population density.

    40 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 480 ÷ 12 = 40 people/km².

  11. 11. A region has a population of 707 people and a land area of 7 km². Calculate its population density.

    101 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 707 ÷ 7 = 101 people/km².

  12. 12. A region has a population of 704 people and a land area of 22 km². Calculate its population density.

    32 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 704 ÷ 22 = 32 people/km².
