Hi, I am studying the population density of Barranquilla. Lets look at my report!

BARRANQUILLAIs located at the northern part of

Colombia by the Caribbean Sea and the

Magdalena River.

Is the capital of the Atlántico

Department.

Is an Industrial, Portal and Special

district.

In 154 km2, it has a population of

1.148.506 so the density is 7.458

Barranquilla is known as the “Golden Gate of Colombia” because it was the first and the most important port and it had the first airport in South America. So many immigrants from Europe and Asia came to live here.

IN WHICH PART OF BARRANQUILLA DO I LIVE?

Barranquilla is divided into 5 locations “Sur Oriente, Sur Occidente, Norte-Centro Historico, Metropolitana and

Riomar”. In all these locations we find different neighborhoods.

I live in the “Norte-Centro Historico”, it has 36 neighborhoods. I live in “Altos del Prado” Which is a residential place with many modern buildings and beautiful houses.

About 1.144.470 people live in urban areas and 4.036 in

rural areas.
