Fascinating Fact:

Population density measures how closely people live together, usually counted as the number of people per square kilometre.

In KS3 Geography, pupils study how populations grow, move and spread out across different regions. They learn to use population density to compare crowded cities with sparsely populated rural areas and to explain patterns using physical and human factors.

Key Terms

Population: The total number of people living in a particular place, such as a village, city, country or the whole world.
Population density: A measure of how closely people live together, usually shown as the number of people per square kilometre.
Population distribution: The way people are spread out across an area, showing where places are crowded and where they are more empty.

What does population density mean in KS3 geography?

In KS3 geography, population density means how many people live in a given area, usually measured as the number of people per square kilometre on a map or in data.

What factors affect population distribution around the world?

Population distribution is affected by climate, relief, soil, water supply, jobs and transport. People are more likely to live where there are milder climates, good resources and economic opportunities.
