Population density is a measure of the number of people living per unit area of land. The most densely populated countries and territories are Macau, Monaco, and Singapore, with population densities of over 8,000 people per square kilometer. On the other end of the spectrum, the least densely populated countries and territories are Mongolia, Greenland, and Western Sahara, with population densities of less than one person per square kilometer.

Many of the countries with the highest population densities are located in Asia, such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangladesh, Taiwan, and South Korea. Some African countries like Rwanda, Burundi, and Malawi also have high population densities. In contrast, many of the countries with the lowest population densities are located in Africa, such as Namibia, Botswana, and Mauritania. Australia, Canada, and Russia also have low population densities due to their vast land areas and harsh climates.

Population density can have significant implications for a country, including resource use, infrastructure development, and environmental impact. Countries with high population densities may struggle to provide adequate resources and services to their citizens, while countries with low population densities may face challenges in developing infrastructure and providing services over vast areas. Ultimately, understanding population density can provide valuable insight into a country’s demographics, economy, and social issues.
