Think about the US’s population........

Do you think the population is increasing or decreasing?

Media Reports might make you think it is increasing, but it actually is decreasing.

Why do you think the US population is decreasing? Link your answer to the birth

and death rate.(Remember to gain the higher levels you need

to explain Why, How and use examples!)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnipbr-SRKM

Population Density

Learning Objective- To learn why some places are densely populated

while others are sparsely populated.

Page 22: Population Geography. What does population mean? The total number of persons inhabiting a country, city, or any district or area

Why are some places really crowded and others not?

Page 23: Population Geography. What does population mean? The total number of persons inhabiting a country, city, or any district or area

What’s the density?

Some areas of the world are more populated than others.

We use population density as a measure of how many people live in a set area.

Population density is measured in people per square kilometre (km2).

Population density = Number of people/Area(km2)

India has a population of 1,103,371,000 and covers 3,287,263km2. The population density of India is 336.

Page 24: Population Geography. What does population mean? The total number of persons inhabiting a country, city, or any district or area

What is the population density of Florida?

The population is 19,057,542

Florida covers 170,305 kilometres squared.

Population density = Number of people / Area(km2)

111.90 is the

population density of Florida.

Homework

• Using the website above write down 5 of your favourite facts and tell me why you like it.

• For example. I like this fact because it shocks me how much

logging occurs in the World as the rainforest is very important to the wildlife and humans.

whilst others are sparsely populated.

Page 29: Population Geography. What does population mean? The total number of persons inhabiting a country, city, or any district or area

Do the factors

increase or

decrease natural

change?

Lack of birth control/family planning

Famine causing lots of people to die due to lack of food

Parents wanting lots of children to help provide an income (such as working on

farms)

Disease (for example HIV/AIDS) causing lots of

people to die.

In many rural areas it can be the tradition to have lots of

children

Many young children die due to poor health care

No education about the benefits of a smaller family

War/Conflict

Government policies which want to strengthen their

population

Drug use, alcoholism and sexually transmitted diseases

(STD’s) is blamed for this change in .

Better health care Lack of resourcesPeaceful conditions within

the countryGovernment policies (such as

the One Child Policy in )

A culture which means men have a high status for having lots of children

Education about the benefits of a smaller family

Population Distribution

To investigate the population density of the US.

Page 31: Population Geography. What does population mean? The total number of persons inhabiting a country, city, or any district or area

Density vs distribution

Density figures only tell us how many people live in an area.

The population can be evenly spread.

Often, distribution of the population is affected by factors of physical and human geography.

To describe the way people are distributed around an area we need to talk about the population distribution.

Alternatively, the population can be randomly distributed.

The population can also be clustered around one specific location.

Page 32: Population Geography. What does population mean? The total number of persons inhabiting a country, city, or any district or area

When describing population distribution there are guidelines that should be followed.

Describe the obvious pattern. Where do most people live? What areas are most populated?

Give figures, if available, and locations. Using accurate figures helps support your description.

Give any exceptions to the ‘obvious pattern’. Are there areas that do no fit in with the general population distribution?

A choropleth map is a very accurate tool to use when describing population distribution.

World Population DensityLearning Objectives-To explore areas in the world where there is a

dense and sparse population density.

Page 41: Population Geography. What does population mean? The total number of persons inhabiting a country, city, or any district or area

Reminder Population Density

• People are unevenly distributed around the world. The difference in distribution is measured

by comparing population density - the number of people per square kilometre (km²).

• Population density is determined more by environmental factors which make an area more or less attractive to settlers than by economic development.

Page 42: Population Geography. What does population mean? The total number of persons inhabiting a country, city, or any district or area

• The way in which people are spread across a given area is known as population distribution.

• Patterns of population distribution tend to be uneven. For example, in the US there are more people living in Florida and California than Montana and Wyoming
