Countries and dependencies by population density Unless otherwise noted, areas and populations are sourced from the United Nations World Population Prospects, which uses the latest censuses and official figures, as well as figures from the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs.

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. The list does not include entities not on ISO 3166-1, except for states with limited recognition. The figures in the table are based on areas including internal bodies of water such as bays, lakes, reservoirs and rivers. The list also includes unrecognized but de facto independent countries. The list includes sovereign states and self-governing dependent territories based upon the ISO standard ISO 3166-1.

This is a list of countries and dependencies ranked by population density, sorted by inhabitants per square kilometre or square mile. The following maps were generated using data from the 2006-2010 American Community Survey of the US Census Bureau.

The EO-STAT contract was awarded by ESA within the framework of the Earth Observation Market Development (EOMD) programme.Population density (people per km 2) by country The EO-STAT service is organised in partnership with German-based Infoterra GmbH and Brockmann Consult. The EO data used provided recognition of urban features and separation of urban from non-urban features, as well as discrimination of urban site density based on the presence of vegetation.Ĭompanies currently using this model expect to improve their existing data sets in regards of accuracy by a factor of 100 or more. The model produced was validated with aerial photographs and independent reference data and showed an accuracy of more than 95 percent. GeoVille first employed this technique in Vienna, Austria, with a population of roughly 1.5 million, and illustrated a complex and heterogeneous settlement structure from low density single family neighbourhoods to modern high-rise buildings and large industrial and commercial areas. GeoVille is also currently providing maps over the province of Shanghai in China. In light of the European Union’s expansion to the east, there is an increasing demand for geoinformation from this region to allow local and national businesses to make better informed decisions. Thus, EO-STAT is currently working to provide models for Eastern European countries, where the statistical data are sometimes fragmented not homogeneous. Information on ‘real-world population’ distribution is already available through EO-STAT for all of Austria with extensions in Germany, but the largest potential of the project is in regions and countries where limited information on population distribution is available. 'Our service is like a pencil sharpener because it sharpens the data already available by using a model that compiles three layers of information.'

'Models based on zip code data, for example, make areas look uniform, but in reality within a community you will have, for instance, some high rise buildings, single family homes, some green areas, lakes and parks,' Christian Hoffman of GeoVille said. Data provided by EO-STAT (EO derived information for sharpening socio-economic STATistics) makes the transition from the current population statistics to the ‘real-world’ population situation. Population data from zip codes has been used for decades to help companies reach their target audience, but that data has drawbacks because it standardises the information, conveying the erroneous impression of homogeneous population densities leading to misleading results. Density levels have been higher across the Eastern seaboard and the Pacific coastline and lower in much of the West. Population density is a measure of average population per square mile. For instance, this information can be used to strategically choose a heavily-populated area in which to place a business in another country without ever placing a foot in the region.
