• Density refers to the frequency with which something occurs
• Distribution refers to the arrangement of a feature in space

Population DensityPopulation Density
• a measure of the number of people per unit area of land– arithmetic: people per unit area of
land– physiologic: people supported by
arable land– agricultural: farmers to amount of
arable land

East AsiaEast Asia
• China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan– 1/5 the world’s total population– 5/6 of the region’s population live in China,
mostly river and coastal regions– 2/3 of people in China live as farmers in rural
areas – In Japan and Korean Peninsula, ¾+ live in
urban areas and work in industry and service
04/08/23 16
South AsiaSouth Asia
• India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka – 1/5 the world’s population– most are rural farmers (3/4), not city
dwellers – centered along Ganges and Indus
river valleys, lowlands and coastal areas
– restrained by mountains
04/08/23 17
Southeast AsiaSoutheast Asia
• Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines– Island nations in the Pacific– Around river valleys and deltas
04/08/23 18
EuropeEurope
• Britain, Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, France, N Italy – ¾ live in cities– Less than 20% are farmers– Highest concentration near coal fields
04/08/23 19
Subordinate RegionsSubordinate Regions
• Eastern US– Bosnywash, Chicago, Detroit,
Cleveland, California – In Europe and North America, cities
and towns more densely populated that rural areas
– Megalopolis

Population StatsPopulation Stats
• Birth Rate– number of live births per year per 1000
people in the population– +30 is high– highest today in Africa and SW Asia– lowest in Europe– inversely related to modernization,
industrialization, urbanization and economic development
– exception: China– US: 14/1000

Population StatsPopulation Stats
• Death Rate– number of deaths per thousand
people in a given year– highest in tropical Africa– lowest in N America, S America,
Europe, Japan, Australia– high CDR’s tend to reflect high infant
mortality– US: 8/1000
