In 2022, the population density in Cambodia remained nearly unchanged at around 97.45 inhabitants per square kilometer. Still, the population density reached its highest value in the observed period in 2022. Population density refers to the average number of residents per square kilometer of land across a given country or region. 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 Thailand and Malaysia.

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;

Cambodia population density for 2022 was 97.45, a 1.34% increase from 2021.

The dataset provides a summary of population and density figures across regions and provinces, comparing values from 2019 and 2024. It highlights overall population levels alongside population density, offering insights into how people are distributed spatially over time. The dataset also distinguishes between regional and provincial levels, allowing for multi-scale demographic analysis.

In 2023, the share of urban population in Cambodia increased by 0.5 percentage points (+1.99 percent) compared to 2022. Therefore, the share in Cambodia reached a peak in 2023 with 25.57 percent. Notably, the share continuously increased over the last years.A population may be defined as urban depending on the size (population or area) or population density of the village, town, or city. The urbanization rate then refers to the share of the total population who live in an urban setting. International comparisons may be inconsistent due to differing parameters for what constitutes an urban center.
