Computing Population Density. To determine an area's population density, you just have to divide an area's total population by the land area in square miles (or square kilometers). For example, Canada's population of 33 million, divided by the land area of 3,559,294 square miles yields a density of 9.27 people per square mile.
For humans, population density is the number of people per unit of area, usually quoted per square kilometer or square mile (which may include or exclude, for example, areas of water or glaciers).Commonly this may be calculated for a county, city, country, another territory, or the entire world.f Antarctica is also excluded, then population density rises to over 50 people per km 2 (over 130 per sq. mile). However over half of the Earth's land mass consists of areas inhospitable to human habitation, such as deserts and high mountains, and population tends to cluster around seaports and fresh water sources.
