List of countries and dependencies by population density

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Population density (people per km2) by country in 2018

This is a list of countries and dependent territories ranked by population density, measured by the number of human inhabitants per square kilometer or square mile, and also sortable by total area and by population. The list includes sovereign states and self-governing dependent territories based upon the ISO standard ISO 3166-1. The list also includes unrecognized but de facto independent countries. The figures in the following table are based on areas including internal bodies of water such as bays, lakes, reservoirs and rivers. The list does not include entities not on ISO 3166-1, except for states with limited recognition. Thus constituent countries that are not included on ISO 3166-1, and other entities not on ISO 3166-1 like the European Union, are not included. Figures used in this article are mainly based on the latest censuses and official estimates or projections. Where these are unavailable, projections[1] provided by the Population Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs are used.[2]

Notes[]

  1. ^ The De Agostini Atlas Calendar listed the area of Vatican City as 0.44 km2 (0.17 sq mi) in its 1930 edition[6] but corrected it to 0.49 km2 (0.19 sq mi) in its 1945–46 edition.[7] The figure of 0.44 km2 (0.17 sq mi) is still widely cited by many sources despite its inaccuracy.
    In 2019, the total population was 825, consisting of 453 residents and 372 nonresident citizens. For calculating the population density, only residents are considered.
