Abstract from DBPedia
    Population density (in agriculture: standing stock or plant density) is a measurement of population per unit land area. It is mostly applied to humans, but sometimes to other living organisms too. It is a key geographical term. In simple terms, population density refers to the number of people living in an area per square kilometre, or other unit of land area.

    人口密度(じんこうみつど, 英: Population density)は、人口統計において、単位面積である1平方キロメートル (km2) 当たりに居住する人の数により定義される数値である。都市化、土地利用の度合いなどの目安となる。
