Spatial Distribution and Density

Spatial distribution refers to how people are spread out across a given area, reflecting where communities, populations, or resources are located. Density indicates how many individuals live in that space, illustrating whether areas are crowded or sparse. In social structure, these concepts help us understand patterns of living—like urban versus rural settings—and how they influence social interactions, access to services, and overall quality of life. Understanding these aspects is crucial for planning, resource allocation, and addressing social issues within different communities.
