Population density & demographics

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. A region has a population of 1040 people and a land area of 13 km². Calculate its population density.
80 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1040 ÷ 13 = 80 people/km².
2. A region has a population of 391 people and a land area of 23 km². Calculate its population density.
17 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 391 ÷ 23 = 17 people/km².
3. A region has a population of 462 people and a land area of 21 km². Calculate its population density.
22 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 462 ÷ 21 = 22 people/km².
4. A region has a population of 768 people and a land area of 8 km². Calculate its population density.
96 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 768 ÷ 8 = 96 people/km².
5. A region has a population of 1780 people and a land area of 20 km². Calculate its population density.
89 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1780 ÷ 20 = 89 people/km².
6. A region has a population of 1716 people and a land area of 22 km². Calculate its population density.
78 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1716 ÷ 22 = 78 people/km².
7. A region has a population of 2928 people and a land area of 24 km². Calculate its population density.
122 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 2928 ÷ 24 = 122 people/km².
8. A region has a population of 3725 people and a land area of 25 km². Calculate its population density.
149 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 3725 ÷ 25 = 149 people/km².
9. A region has a population of 590 people and a land area of 5 km². Calculate its population density.
118 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 590 ÷ 5 = 118 people/km².
10. A region has a population of 1287 people and a land area of 11 km². Calculate its population density.
117 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1287 ÷ 11 = 117 people/km².
11. A region has a population of 1892 people and a land area of 22 km². Calculate its population density.
86 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1892 ÷ 22 = 86 people/km².
12. A region has a population of 2800 people and a land area of 25 km². Calculate its population density.
112 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 2800 ÷ 25 = 112 people/km².
