Population Density Maps
Population density maps visually represent the number of people living in a specific area, typically per square mile or kilometer. Areas with high population density, like cities, are shown in darker colors, indicating more residents, while sparsely populated regions, like rural areas, appear lighter. These maps help us understand where people live, the pressures on resources in crowded areas, and potential regions for growth or development. They are useful for urban planning, resource allocation, and studying demographic trends. Essentially, they provide a clear picture of how population is spread across different regions.
