Determine the population density for each area that will be included in the map by using the population and area data in the following formula: Population density = Population/Land Area in square miles.

The two main common causes leading to over population in India are: The birth rate is still higher than the death rate. The fertility rate due to the population policies and other measures has been falling but even then it is much higher compared to other countries.

Population density is the average number of individuals in a population per unit of area or volume. For example, a population of 100 insects that live in an area of 100 square meters has a density of 1 insect per square meter.

To calculate the population density, you will divide the population by the size of the area. Thus, Population Density = Number of People/Land Area. The unit of land area should be square miles or square kilometers. You can use square feet or meters if you are finding the density of a smallish space.

An analysis by World Conference on Transport Research mentions optimal densities can range from 20-40 residents per hectare, optimal vehicle ownership can range from 300-400 vehicles per 1,000 residents.

Have a population density less than 100 people per square mile. Comprise at least 25 percent of the total land area of the place. Consist of 25 square miles or more.

While the United States population density is about 90 people per square mile, most people live in cities, which have a much higher density. In a broad sense, this number tells us how many people would live within one square mile if the U.S. population were evenly distributed across its land area.

Disadvantages of high population density

• As the population increases there will be more chances for the exploitation of natural resources.
• Low Per Capita Income.
• Low Quality of Life.
• Environmental Degradation and Others.
• The number of unproductive consumers is increasing.
• Unemployment.

When a population reaches a high density, there are more individuals trying to use the same quantity of resources. This can lead to competition for food, water, shelter, mates, light, and other resources needed for survival and reproduction.
