From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 185.176.76.223 (talk) at 16:30, 14 October 2018 (→Main table: Trinidad and Tobago). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Population density (people per km2) by country in 2017

This is a list of countries and dependent territories ranked by population density, measured by the number of human inhabitants per square kilometer.

The list includes sovereign states and self-governing dependent territories based upon the ISO standard ISO 3166-1. The list also includes but does not rank unrecognized but de facto independent countries. The figures in the following table are based on areas including inland water bodies (lakes, reservoirs, rivers).

Figures used in this article are mainly based on the latest censuses and official estimates (or projections). Where there is not such updated national data available, figures are based on the online projections provided by the Population Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs.[1]

Main table

The names of dependent territories as well as recognised states with no or limited control over their territory are shown in italics.
