Population density in other languages 14.03.2025

A country's population density represents the level of settlement within its territory. This metric indicates the number of people permanently residing per unit of area (in our guide, population density is calculated per square kilometer).

Due to various factors, including economic, geographical, and political conditions, countries have different population densities. Some countries are densely populated, while others have fewer than 10 people per square kilometer.

Among the most densely populated countries are Palestine, Mayotte, Barbados, Taiwan, the Republic of Mauritius, Nauru, Aruba, Rwanda, Lebanon, Burundi, San Marino, and the Netherlands. On the other hand, the least populated areas per square kilometer include Greenland, the Falkland Islands, Norfolk Island, the Pitcairn Islands, Vatican City, Bermuda, Sint Maarten, and Bangladesh.
