In rural areas, urban areas, suburbs and at various scales, county, state, or country. * it can help determine distribution of goods, services and resources and the potential impact on the environment. * people in urban areas, usually with more technology, often use more resources and have a greater impact on the environment than rural dwellers. Population density refers to the number of people per unit area (square mile or kilometer). Arithmetic population density is the: average number of people per unit area or total population/total land area. * gives little indication of distribution of the people, where they are located, Ex: egypt --> 172 people/sq mile, but 98% of the population lives on only 3% of the land area.
