116 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1044 ÷ 9 = 116 people/km².
7. A region has a population of 610 people and a land area of 5 km². Calculate its population density.
122 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 610 ÷ 5 = 122 people/km².
8. A region has a population of 949 people and a land area of 13 km². Calculate its population density.
73 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 949 ÷ 13 = 73 people/km².
9. A region has a population of 355 people and a land area of 5 km². Calculate its population density.
71 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 355 ÷ 5 = 71 people/km².
10. A region has a population of 3220 people and a land area of 23 km². Calculate its population density.
140 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 3220 ÷ 23 = 140 people/km².
11. A region has a population of 168 people and a land area of 6 km². Calculate its population density.
28 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 168 ÷ 6 = 28 people/km².
12. A region has a population of 2280 people and a land area of 24 km². Calculate its population density.
95 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 2280 ÷ 24 = 95 people/km².
