Population density & demographics

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

  1. 1. A region has a population of 504 people and a land area of 24 km². Calculate its population density.

    21 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 504 ÷ 24 = 21 people/km².

  2. 2. A region has a population of 434 people and a land area of 14 km². Calculate its population density.

    31 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 434 ÷ 14 = 31 people/km².

  3. 3. A region has a population of 60 people and a land area of 6 km². Calculate its population density.

    10 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 60 ÷ 6 = 10 people/km².

  4. 4. A region has a population of 510 people and a land area of 6 km². Calculate its population density.

    85 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 510 ÷ 6 = 85 people/km².

  5. 5. A region has a population of 1380 people and a land area of 12 km². Calculate its population density.

    115 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 1380 ÷ 12 = 115 people/km².

  6. 6. A region has a population of 2610 people and a land area of 18 km². Calculate its population density.

    145 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 2610 ÷ 18 = 145 people/km².

  7. 7. A region has a population of 672 people and a land area of 21 km². Calculate its population density.

    32 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 672 ÷ 21 = 32 people/km².

  8. 8. A region has a population of 402 people and a land area of 3 km². Calculate its population density.

    134 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 402 ÷ 3 = 134 people/km².

  9. 9. 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.

  10. 10. A region has a population of 576 people and a land area of 12 km². Calculate its population density.

    48 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 576 ÷ 12 = 48 people/km².

  11. 11. A region has a population of 2466 people and a land area of 18 km². Calculate its population density.

    137 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 2466 ÷ 18 = 137 people/km².

  12. 12. A region has a population of 2222 people and a land area of 22 km². Calculate its population density.

    101 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 2222 ÷ 22 = 101 people/km².
