The World Population Density Map provides an overview of the current population density in different parts of the world. The geographical or political regions with varied population densities have been highlighted in different colors to get a quick idea about the difference in population for different regions of the world.

In the population density  

world map

  below, those regions of the world with population densities ranging from 0 to 50 people per sq. km. have been highlighted in mauve which includes almost all of North and South America, Australia, a large part of Africa and Antarctica; which shows that these are the least populated parts of the world.  

US population

 falls in this category.  

United States' population

  currently stands at 302,633,000 (2007 estimate). Even when the  

States' population

  figures are separately, the same pattern will follow. Regions with population densities ranging from 50 to 100 have been highlighted in light green; this includes mostly European countries and parts of Asia and Africa and a very few areas of North America; indicating low to moderate population densities in these parts of the world. Regions with a population density of 100 to 200 have been highlighted in yellow which include mostly Asian countries with quite a few areas in Europe and Africa as well and a very few areas in the Americas. These areas indicate moderate to high population densities.


Regions with population densities ranging from 200 to 300 have been highlighted in red which include highly populated areas of Asia and Europe. Regions with population densities ranging from 300 to 500 have been highlighted in brown which include densely populated regions in the Asian and European continents. Regions with population densities ranging from 500 to 1000 have been highlighted in dark green which includes extremely dense areas.  

Current world population

is more than 6 billion, in which  

cities' population

  exceeds the rural  

population. Maps

 depicting the population distribution in different ways are available at Mapsofworld.com

Also given below is a table mentioning different

countries' population

. 

City population

  figures for important cities of the world can be availed from the city profiles given elsewhere in the site. With the help of population density map, students and researchers can make  

world population graph

 . Mapsofworld.com has vast collection of pages and  

world maps

  on different countries with details like,  

population, geography ,

history, culture and polity.
