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.
Objectives: 1  1. Distinguish between population size, population density, population distribution, age structure, and reproductive base. 2  2. Know how to calculate the net growth rate for a population, and how to graph the resulting numbers to produce a J-curve (worksheet) 3. Explain the factors that limit the biotic potential and carrying capacity of a population, including density-dependent, and density-independent limiting factors. 4. Explain how human population growth went from 1 billion in 1800 to 6 billion in 1999. Have a reasonable estimate of the population of the US and world. 5.
