Population density & demographics

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

  1. 1. A region has a population of 700 people and a land area of 25 km². Calculate its population density.

    28 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 700 ÷ 25 = 28 people/km².

  2. 2. A region has a population of 132 people and a land area of 12 km². Calculate its population density.

    11 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 132 ÷ 12 = 11 people/km².

  3. 3. A region has a population of 1443 people and a land area of 13 km². Calculate its population density.

    111 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 1443 ÷ 13 = 111 people/km².

  4. 4. A region has a population of 360 people and a land area of 9 km². Calculate its population density.

    40 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 360 ÷ 9 = 40 people/km².

  5. 5. A region has a population of 1615 people and a land area of 17 km². Calculate its population density.

    95 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 1615 ÷ 17 = 95 people/km².

  6. 6. A region has a population of 2205 people and a land area of 21 km². Calculate its population density.

    105 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 2205 ÷ 21 = 105 people/km².

  7. 7. A region has a population of 2394 people and a land area of 18 km². Calculate its population density.

    133 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 2394 ÷ 18 = 133 people/km².

  8. 8. A region has a population of 931 people and a land area of 19 km². Calculate its population density.

    49 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 931 ÷ 19 = 49 people/km².

  9. 9. A region has a population of 759 people and a land area of 11 km². Calculate its population density.

    69 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 759 ÷ 11 = 69 people/km².

  10. 10. A region has a population of 210 people and a land area of 14 km². Calculate its population density.

    15 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 210 ÷ 14 = 15 people/km².

  11. 11. A region has a population of 186 people and a land area of 3 km². Calculate its population density.

    62 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 186 ÷ 3 = 62 people/km².

  12. 12. A region has a population of 2358 people and a land area of 18 km². Calculate its population density.

    131 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 2358 ÷ 18 = 131 people/km².
