Physical Factors High Density Low DensityRelief (shape and height of land)

Low land which is flat e.g. Ganges Valley in India

High land that is mountainous e.g. Himalayas

ResourcesAreas rich in resources (e.g. coal, oil, wood, fishing etc.) tend to densely populated e.g. Western Europe

Areas with few resources tend to be sparsely populated e.g. The Sahel

Climate

Areas with temperate climates tend to be densely populated as there is enough rain and heat to grow crops e.g. UK

Areas with extreme climates of hot and cold tend to be sparsely populated e.g. the Sahara Desert

Factors Affecting Population Density There are a range of human and natural factors that affect population density. The tables below illustrate this.

Physical Factors

Human Factors

Human Factors High Density Low Density

Political

Countries with stable governments tend to have a high population density e.g. Singapore

Unstable countries tend to have lower population densities as people migrate e.g. Afghanistan.

SocialGroups of people want to live close to each other for security e.g. USA

Other groups of people prefer to be isolated e.g. Scandinavians
