Population Density:
Population density is the concentration of individuals within a species
in a specific geographic locale. Population density data can be used to
quantify demographic information and to assess relationships with
ecosystems, human health, and infrastructure.
Globally, statistics related to population density are tracked by the
United Nations Statistics Division, and the United States Constitution
requires population data to be collected every 10 years, an operation
carried out by the U.S. Census Bureau. However, data on
human population density at the country level, and even
at regional levels, may not be very informative; society tends to form
clusters that can be surrounded by sparsely inhabited areas.
Therefore, the most useful data describes smaller, more
discrete population centers.
Lastly, it is a measurement of the population per unit land area. It is
mostly applied to humans but sometimes organisms too.
