List of countries and dependencies by population density

This is a list of countries and dependencies ranked by population density, sorted by inhabitants per square kilometre or square mile. The list includes sovereign states and self-governing dependent territories based upon the ISO standard ISO 3166-1. The list also includes unrecognized but de facto independent countries. The figures in the table are based on areas including internal bodies of water such as bays, lakes, reservoirs and rivers. The list does not include entities not on ISO 3166-1, except for states with limited recognition. Thus constituent countries that are not included on ISO 3166-1, and other entities not on ISO 3166-1 like the European Union, are not included.

Population density (people per km2) by country in 2018

Unless otherwise noted, areas and populations are sourced from the United Nations World Population Prospects, which uses the latest censuses and official figures, as well as figures from the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs.[1][2]

Notes
  1. The De Agostini Atlas Calendar (in Italian) listed the area of Vatican City as 0.44 km2 (0.17 sq mi) in its 1930 edition[3] but corrected it to 0.49 km2 (0.19 sq mi) in its 1945–46 edition.[4] The figure of 0.44 km2 (0.17 sq mi) is still widely cited by many sources despite its inaccuracy. In 2018, there were 618 citizens regardless of residence, including 246 resident citizens.[5] In 2023, there were 764 residents regardless of citizenship.[5] The population density is calculated using the number of residents regardless of citizenship and the revised area of 0.49 km2 (0.19 sq mi).
  2. Includes Svalbard and Jan Mayen. Mainland Norway has a density of 17/km2.
