Population density & demographics

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

  1. 1. A region has a population of 344 people and a land area of 4 km². Calculate its population density.

    86 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 344 ÷ 4 = 86 people/km².

  2. 2. A region has a population of 2160 people and a land area of 24 km². Calculate its population density.

    90 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 2160 ÷ 24 = 90 people/km².

  3. 3. A region has a population of 1450 people and a land area of 10 km². Calculate its population density.

    145 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 1450 ÷ 10 = 145 people/km².

  4. 4. A region has a population of 246 people and a land area of 3 km². Calculate its population density.

    82 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 246 ÷ 3 = 82 people/km².

  5. 5. A region has a population of 2180 people and a land area of 20 km². Calculate its population density.

    109 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 2180 ÷ 20 = 109 people/km².

  6. 6. A region has a population of 408 people and a land area of 8 km². Calculate its population density.

    51 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 408 ÷ 8 = 51 people/km².

  7. 7. A region has a population of 348 people and a land area of 4 km². Calculate its population density.

    87 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 348 ÷ 4 = 87 people/km².

  8. 8. A region has a population of 195 people and a land area of 13 km². Calculate its population density.

    15 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 195 ÷ 13 = 15 people/km².

  9. 9. 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.

  10. 10. A region has a population of 2277 people and a land area of 23 km². Calculate its population density.

    99 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 2277 ÷ 23 = 99 people/km².

  11. 11. A region has a population of 1596 people and a land area of 14 km². Calculate its population density.

    114 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 1596 ÷ 14 = 114 people/km².

  12. 12. A region has a population of 2486 people and a land area of 22 km². Calculate its population density.

    113 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 2486 ÷ 22 = 113 people/km².
