Population density & demographics

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

  1. 1. A region has a population of 252 people and a land area of 6 km². Calculate its population density.

    42 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 252 ÷ 6 = 42 people/km².

  2. 2. A region has a population of 1808 people and a land area of 16 km². Calculate its population density.

    113 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 1808 ÷ 16 = 113 people/km².

  3. 3. A region has a population of 30 people and a land area of 2 km². Calculate its population density.

    15 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 30 ÷ 2 = 15 people/km².

  4. 4. A region has a population of 456 people and a land area of 4 km². Calculate its population density.

    114 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 456 ÷ 4 = 114 people/km².

  5. 5. A region has a population of 890 people and a land area of 10 km². Calculate its population density.

    89 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 890 ÷ 10 = 89 people/km².

  6. 6. A region has a population of 1152 people and a land area of 8 km². Calculate its population density.

    144 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 1152 ÷ 8 = 144 people/km².

  7. 7. A region has a population of 536 people and a land area of 4 km². Calculate its population density.

    134 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 536 ÷ 4 = 134 people/km².

  8. 8. A region has a population of 700 people and a land area of 10 km². Calculate its population density.

    70 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 700 ÷ 10 = 70 people/km².

  9. 9. A region has a population of 34 people and a land area of 2 km². Calculate its population density.

    17 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 34 ÷ 2 = 17 people/km².

  10. 10. A region has a population of 1023 people and a land area of 11 km². Calculate its population density.

    93 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 1023 ÷ 11 = 93 people/km².

  11. 11. A region has a population of 292 people and a land area of 2 km². Calculate its population density.

    146 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 292 ÷ 2 = 146 people/km².

  12. 12. A region has a population of 1000 people and a land area of 25 km². Calculate its population density.

    40 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 1000 ÷ 25 = 40 people/km².
