The population density in Mongolia was 2.23 people in 2023. Between 1961 and 2023, the population density rose by 1.58 people, though the increase followed an uneven trajectory rather than a consistent upward trend.

Mongolia: Population density, people per square km: The latest value from 2023 is 2 people per square km, unchanged from 2 people per square km in 2022. In comparison, the world average is 471 people per square km, based on data from 196 countries. Historically, the average for Mongolia from 1961 to 2023 is 1 people per square km. The minimum value, 1 people per square km, was reached in 1961 while the maximum of 2 people per square km was recorded in 1998.

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;

The average for 2023 based on 196 countries was 471 people per square km. The highest value was in Macao: 20570 people per square km and the lowest value was in Mongolia: 2 people per square km. The indicator is available from 1961 to 2023. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

In 2023, there were around ***** inhabitants per square kilometer living in Singapore. In comparison, there were approximately two inhabitants per square kilometer living in Mongolia that year.

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 2024, the estimated population density of the administrative area of Shanghai municipality reached about 3,911 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.

Lake Hövsgöl Mongolia Gillnet Survey Data from 2006 to 2022Mongolia is home to several endangered salmonids, including taimen (Hucho taimen) and Hovsgol grayling (Thymallus nigrescens). Taimen are the world’s largest trout, reaching a record size of 210 cm (83 in) and 105 kg (231 lb), though individuals larger than 30 kg are rare. Hovsgol grayling are an endemic species of grayling found only in Lake Hovsgol. Two factors have made Mongolia a de facto refuge for many fish species: (1) there is little tradition of fish-eating, and (2) there is low human population density and low land-use intensity (little agriculture or urban development). Both of these are changing. Commercial harvest of fish increased during the years of Soviet occupation. Today there are several poorly regulated commercial fisheries in lakes and rivers as well as widespread poaching. Mining and increased grazing intensity threaten water quality. Our research in Mongolia is focused on the ecology and conservation of taimen and Hovsgol grayling as well as the aquatic ecosystems on which they depend.

Among all provinces or regions in China, Inner Mongolia had the highest installed wind power capacity with over 84 gigawatts of wind power. With its flat and vast landscape and low population density, it is a very suitable location for wind energy generation. As of July 2025, Inner Mongolia's prospective onshore wind power capacity had increased to 143,522 megawatts.
