Population density analysis is a critical tool for understanding human settlement patterns, resource allocation, and environmental impacts. Below are key insights and resources to explore this topic further:

What is Population Density?

Population density measures the number of people living in a specific area, typically expressed as people per square kilometer. It helps identify:

  • Urban vs. rural distribution 🏙️🌾
  • Overcrowding risks ⚠️
  • Infrastructure planning needs 🛠️

📌 Example: Japan's population density exceeds 300 people/km², while Mongolia averages 1.9 people/km².
