In the world, distribution of density of population is also in accordance with the distribution of population. This exhibits unequal and disproportionate tendencies. At places, where settlement of population is found to be more, the density is also naturally found to be more.
Significant diversity is found in population density across the world. On one hand, population density even less than 1 person per sq. km. is found in Sahara, Greenland, Siberia and Mongolia, while on the other hand, population density of 7797 persons per sq. km. is found in Singapore.
According to World Population Bureau, Washington, in 2015, population density of the world stands at 47 persons per sq. km, but due to regional inequality, population density is 116 persons in Asia, 32 persons in Europe, 27 persons in Africa, 16 persons in North America, 20 persons in South America and 3 persons per sq. km in Oceania.
