Population density - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (656 words) |
 | Population density, according to the definition above, depends on the scale of the sampling area used, and is difficult to define as a real-valued continuous function over the area in question. |
| Population density is a common biological measurement and is often used by conservationists as a more appropriate measure than absolute numbers. |
| City population is however, heavily dependent on the definition used for the urban area: densities will be far higher for the central municipality than when more recently-developed and as yet administratively unincorporated suburbs are included, as in the concepts of agglomeration or metropolitan area, the latter including sometimes neighbouring cities. |
