The population density in Mongolia was 2.2 people in 2022. Between 1961 and 2022, the population density rose by 1.55 people, though the increase followed an uneven trajectory rather than a consistent upward trend.

Mongolia MN: Population Density: People per Square Km data was reported at 1.980 Person/sq km in 2017. This records an increase from the previous number of 1.949 Person/sq km for 2016. Mongolia MN: Population Density: People per Square Km data is updated yearly, averaging 1.378 Person/sq km from Dec 1961 (Median) to 2017, with 57 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 1.980 Person/sq km in 2017 and a record low of 0.632 Person/sq km in 1961. Mongolia MN: Population Density: People per Square Km data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Mongolia – Table MN.World Bank: Population and Urbanization Statistics. 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;

Estimates, total number of people per grid-cell. The dataset is available to download in Geotiff format at a resolution of 3 arc (approximately 100m at the equator). The projection is Geographic Coordinate System, WGS84. The units are number of people per pixel. The mapping approach is Random Forest-based dasymetric redistribution.

The health status of Mongolian grassland system is related to the benefit of animal husbandry and ecological security at home and abroad. It is of great significance to measure and control grazing density for maintaining the health of Mongolian grassland ecosystem and realizing the sustainable development of animal husbandry. The lack of spatial grazing density gradient information hinders the development of research on grassland carrying capacity. This study is based on the 2015 gridded livestock of the world (GLW) dataset, population density, soil moisture, average annual precipitation, average annual surface temperature and net primary productivity. Using the GEE cloud platform to run the random forest regression algorithm, the Mongolian grazing density estimation model was established. The accuracy of the model was tested based on the statistical data of livestock stocks in the province, and combined with the predictor data of different years, the spatial data set of grazing density in Mongolia from 2006 to 2020 was simulated. In order to ensure the accuracy of the data, three error measurement indexes of decision coefficient (R²), mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean square error (RMSE) were used to verify the data set. Finally, 1 km Mongolian grazing density data sets for 2006, 2010, 2015 and 2020 were obtained. This dataset solves the problem of lack of spatial data of grazing density in Mongolia, and provides important data support for subsequent research on sustainable development of grassland ecosystem and animal husbandry in this region.

China is a vast and diverse country and population density in different regions varies greatly. In 2023, the estimated population density of the administrative area of Shanghai municipality reached about 3,922 inhabitants per square kilometer, whereas statistically only around three people were living on one square kilometer in Tibet. Population distribution in China China's population is unevenly distributed across the country: while most people are living in the southeastern half of the country, the northwestern half – which includes the provinces and autonomous regions of Tibet, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu, and Inner Mongolia – is only sparsely populated. Even the inhabitants of a single province might be unequally distributed within its borders. This is significantly influenced by the geography of each region, and is especially the case in the Guangdong, Fujian, or Sichuan provinces due to their mountain ranges. The Chinese provinces with the largest absolute population size are Guangdong in the south, Shandong in the east and Henan in Central China. Urbanization and city population Urbanization is one of the main factors which have been reshaping China over the last four decades. However, when comparing the size of cities and urban population density, one has to bear in mind that data often refers to the administrative area of cities or urban units, which might be much larger than the contiguous built-up area of that city. The administrative area of Beijing municipality, for example, includes large rural districts, where only around 200 inhabitants are living per square kilometer on average, while roughly 20,000 residents per square kilometer are living in the two central city districts. This is the main reason for the huge difference in population density between the four Chinese municipalities Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Chongqing shown in many population statistics.
