Population Density

This ranking compares population density. Lower density leads to a higher rating because it indicates less spatial crowding pressure.

How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is population per square kilometre of land area. It combines population and land area into one spatial density measure.

Public source families are World Bank population density, UN population data, land-area statistics, national statistical offices and maintained territory replacements.

The rating is derived logarithmically from the raw value: 2 people per square kilometre or less receives 100 points, while 20,000 or more receives 0 points. Values in between are scaled logarithmically.

Lower population density therefore improves the ranking. The indicator does not rate any single city; internal differences remain outside this country comparison.
