Population density & demographics

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. A region has a population of 665 people and a land area of 19 km². Calculate its population density.
35 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 665 ÷ 19 = 35 people/km².
2. A region has a population of 1728 people and a land area of 12 km². Calculate its population density.
144 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1728 ÷ 12 = 144 people/km².
3. A region has a population of 2527 people and a land area of 19 km². Calculate its population density.
133 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 2527 ÷ 19 = 133 people/km².
4. A region has a population of 420 people and a land area of 14 km². Calculate its population density.
30 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 420 ÷ 14 = 30 people/km².
5. A region has a population of 1572 people and a land area of 12 km². Calculate its population density.
131 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1572 ÷ 12 = 131 people/km².
6. A region has a population of 684 people and a land area of 12 km². Calculate its population density.
57 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 684 ÷ 12 = 57 people/km².
7. A region has a population of 176 people and a land area of 16 km². Calculate its population density.
11 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 176 ÷ 16 = 11 people/km².
8. A region has a population of 952 people and a land area of 7 km². Calculate its population density.
136 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 952 ÷ 7 = 136 people/km².
9. A region has a population of 1045 people and a land area of 19 km². Calculate its population density.
55 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1045 ÷ 19 = 55 people/km².
10. A region has a population of 506 people and a land area of 11 km². Calculate its population density.
46 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 506 ÷ 11 = 46 people/km².
11. A region has a population of 90 people and a land area of 3 km². Calculate its population density.
30 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 90 ÷ 3 = 30 people/km².
12. A region has a population of 720 people and a land area of 24 km². Calculate its population density.
30 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 720 ÷ 24 = 30 people/km².
