Spatial Distribution of Populations

Spatial distribution of populations refers to how people are spread out across a given area. It examines patterns of where populations live, such as in cities, rural areas, or along coastlines. Factors influencing this distribution include geography, climate, availability of resources, and economic opportunities. For example, urban areas tend to have higher populations due to job availability, while remote areas may be sparsely populated. Understanding these patterns helps in planning for infrastructure, services, and environmental management.
