On this page we make use of the population per square kilometer (people/km²) to illustrate the population density of Malaysia.

What useful information can be derived from Population Density?

The population density is a useful metric for understanding and visualize how populated a country, region or territory is, in general. It's also important to understand that most countries are highly populated in specific regions. While the population density only take people per square kilometers, spaced out evenly throughout the total area, into account.

How is Population Density calculated?

Population Density Formula

Population Density = population / land area in km²
