Population Density Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the population density is:

\[ D = \frac{P}{A} \]

Where:

\( D \) is the density
\( P \) is the population number
\( A \) is the area

What is Population Density?

Population density is defined as the total number of people per unit of area. It is a measure used to understand how crowded a particular area is. This metric is important in urban planning, resource allocation, and environmental studies.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Population Number (P) = 1,000,000 people
Area (A) = 500 square units

Using the formula to calculate the population density:

\[ D = \frac{1,000,000}{500} = 2,000 \]

The population density is 2,000 people per square unit.
