Population density & demographics

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. A region has a population of 272 people and a land area of 4 km². Calculate its population density.
68 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 272 ÷ 4 = 68 people/km².
2. A region has a population of 92 people and a land area of 2 km². Calculate its population density.
46 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 92 ÷ 2 = 46 people/km².
3. A region has a population of 492 people and a land area of 6 km². Calculate its population density.
82 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 492 ÷ 6 = 82 people/km².
4. A region has a population of 882 people and a land area of 6 km². Calculate its population density.
147 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 882 ÷ 6 = 147 people/km².
5. A region has a population of 462 people and a land area of 6 km². Calculate its population density.
77 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 462 ÷ 6 = 77 people/km².
6. A region has a population of 858 people and a land area of 11 km². Calculate its population density.
78 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 858 ÷ 11 = 78 people/km².
7. A region has a population of 720 people and a land area of 20 km². Calculate its population density.
36 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 720 ÷ 20 = 36 people/km².
8. A region has a population of 2085 people and a land area of 15 km². Calculate its population density.
139 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 2085 ÷ 15 = 139 people/km².
9. A region has a population of 111 people and a land area of 3 km². Calculate its population density.
37 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 111 ÷ 3 = 37 people/km².
10. A region has a population of 3150 people and a land area of 21 km². Calculate its population density.
150 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 3150 ÷ 21 = 150 people/km².
11. A region has a population of 928 people and a land area of 8 km². Calculate its population density.
116 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 928 ÷ 8 = 116 people/km².
12. A region has a population of 2160 people and a land area of 24 km². Calculate its population density.
90 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 2160 ÷ 24 = 90 people/km².
