Population density & demographics

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. A region has a population of 810 people and a land area of 9 km². Calculate its population density.
90 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 810 ÷ 9 = 90 people/km².
2. A region has a population of 1428 people and a land area of 12 km². Calculate its population density.
119 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1428 ÷ 12 = 119 people/km².
3. A region has a population of 616 people and a land area of 14 km². Calculate its population density.
44 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 616 ÷ 14 = 44 people/km².
4. 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.
5. A region has a population of 1496 people and a land area of 17 km². Calculate its population density.
88 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1496 ÷ 17 = 88 people/km².
6. A region has a population of 814 people and a land area of 11 km². Calculate its population density.
74 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 814 ÷ 11 = 74 people/km².
7. A region has a population of 1488 people and a land area of 24 km². Calculate its population density.
62 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1488 ÷ 24 = 62 people/km².
8. A region has a population of 1764 people and a land area of 14 km². Calculate its population density.
126 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1764 ÷ 14 = 126 people/km².
9. A region has a population of 258 people and a land area of 6 km². Calculate its population density.
43 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 258 ÷ 6 = 43 people/km².
10. A region has a population of 1836 people and a land area of 17 km². Calculate its population density.
108 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1836 ÷ 17 = 108 people/km².
11. A region has a population of 60 people and a land area of 5 km². Calculate its population density.
12 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 60 ÷ 5 = 12 people/km².
12. A region has a population of 770 people and a land area of 7 km². Calculate its population density.
110 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 770 ÷ 7 = 110 people/km².
