The population density in Bangladesh reached its highest in 2020, amounting to approximately 1.27 thousand people per square kilometer. The South Asian country was the tenth most densely populated country in the world in 2019. Within the Asia Pacific region, Bangladesh’s population density was only exceeded by Macao, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the Maldives. Overall, Asia had the highest population density in the world in 2018.

Population growth in Bangladesh

In 1971, Bangladesh gained its independence from Pakistan. Bangladesh’s birth rate and mortality rate had declined significantly in the past years with a life expectancy of 72.59 years in 2019. In general, the population in Bangladesh had been growing at a slow pace, slightly fluctuating around an annual rate of one percent. This growth was forecasted to continue, although it was estimated to halve by 2040. As of today, Dhaka is the largest city in Bangladesh.

Population density explained

According to the source, “population density is the mid-year population divided by land area in square kilometers.” Further, “population is based on the de facto definition of population, which counts all residents.” Bangladesh’s population reached an estimated number of 164.69 million inhabitants in 2020. In 2018, the country’s land area amounted 130.2 thousand square kilometers.

Population density (people per sq. km of land area) in Bangladesh was reported at 1319 sq. Km in 2023, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources. Bangladesh - Population density (people per sq. km) - actual values, historical data, forecasts and projections were sourced from the World Bank on March of 2026.

Objective:

The objective of exploring this dataset is to gain a deeper understanding of the population dynamics and urban development patterns within Bangladesh. By analyzing population trends, demographic shifts, and geographical distributions, stakeholders can make informed decisions regarding infrastructure development, resource allocation, and urban planning initiatives.

Analytical Approach:

Analyzing the dataset may involve various analytical techniques, including:

• Descriptive Statistics: Calculating summary statistics such as mean, median, and standard deviation to understand the distribution of population, area, and population density among cities.

• Time Series Analysis: Examining population trends over time to identify growth rates, patterns, and fluctuations.

• Spatial Mapping: Visualizing population density and distribution across different regions of Bangladesh using maps and geographical information systems (GIS).

• Division-wise Analysis: Comparing population dynamics and urbanization trends across different administrative divisions to understand regional variations and disparities.

By employing these analytical approaches, stakeholders can derive meaningful insights from the dataset to support evidence-based decision-making and policy formulation.

Bangladesh data available from WorldPop here.

Bangladesh is largely ethnically homogeneous, and its name derives from the Bengali ethno-linguistic group which comprises 98% of the population. The Chittagong Hill Tracts, Sylhet, Mymensingh and North Bengal divisions are home to diverse indigenous peoples. There are many dialects of Bengali spoken throughout the region. The dialect spoken by those in Chittagong and Sylhet are particularly distinctive. In 2013 the population was estimated at 160 million. About 87% of Bangladeshis are Muslims, followed by Hindus (12%), Buddhists (1%) and Christians (0.5%).

Bangladesh has the highest population density in the world, excluding a handful of city-states and small countries with populations under 10m, such as Malta and Hong Kong.
