Historical dataset showing Cuba population density by year from 1961 to 2022.

In 2022, the population density in Cuba remained nearly unchanged at around 106.55 inhabitants per square kilometer. Still, 2022 marked the fifth consecutive decline of the population density. Population density refers to the number of people living in a certain country or area, given as an average per square kilometer. It is calculated by dividing the total midyear population by the total land area.Find more key insights for the population density in countries like Puerto Rico and Saint Lucia.

Km in 2022, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources.

Population density is midyear population divided by land area in square kilometers. Population is based on the de facto definition of population, which counts all residents regardless of legal status or citizenship--except for refugees not permanently settled in the country of asylum, who are generally considered part of the population of their country of origin. Land area is a country's total area, excluding area under inland water bodies, national claims to continental shelf, and exclusive economic zones. In most cases the definition of inland water bodies includes major rivers and lakes.;Food and Agriculture Organization and World Bank population estimates.;Weighted average;

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the data for the Cuba, IL population pyramid, which represents the Cuba population distribution across age and gender, using estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates. It lists the male and female population for each age group, along with the total population for those age groups. Higher numbers at the bottom of the table suggest population growth, whereas higher numbers at the top indicate declining birth rates. Furthermore, the dataset can be utilized to understand the youth dependency ratio, old-age dependency ratio, total dependency ratio, and potential support ratio.

Key observations

• Youth dependency ratio, which is the number of children aged 0-14 per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Cuba, IL, is 26.8.
• Old-age dependency ratio, which is the number of persons aged 65 or over per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Cuba, IL, is 31.1.
• Total dependency ratio for Cuba, IL is 57.9.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of Cuba by gender across 18 age groups. It lists the male and female population in each age group along with the gender ratio for Cuba. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Cuba by gender and age. For example, using this dataset, we can identify the largest age group for both Men and Women in Cuba. Additionally, it can be used to see how the gender ratio changes from birth to senior most age group and male to female ratio across each age group for Cuba.

Scope of gender :

Please note that American Community Survey asks a question about the respondents current sex, but not about gender, sexual orientation, or sex at birth. The question is intended to capture data for biological sex, not gender. Respondents are supposed to respond with the answer as either of Male or Female. Our research and this dataset mirrors the data reported as Male and Female for gender distribution analysis.
