In 2023, Washington, D.C. had the highest population density in the United States, with 11,130.69 people per square mile. As a whole, there were about 94.83 residents per square mile in the U.S., and Alaska was the state with the lowest population density, with 1.29 residents per square mile. The problem of population density Simply put, population density is the population of a country divided by the area of the country. While this can be an interesting measure of how many people live in a country and how large the country is, it does not account for the degree of urbanization, or the share of people who live in urban centers. For example, Russia is the largest country in the world and has a comparatively low population, so its population density is very low. However, much of the country is uninhabited, so cities in Russia are much more densely populated than the rest of the country. Urbanization in the United States While the United States is not very densely populated compared to other countries, its population density has increased significantly over the past few decades. The degree of urbanization has also increased, and well over half of the population lives in urban centers.

Monaco led the ranking for countries with the highest population density in 2024, with nearly 26,000 residents per square kilometer. The Special Administrative Region of Macao came in second, followed by Singapore. The world’s second smallest country Monaco is the world’s second-smallest country, with an area of about two square kilometers and a population of only around 40,000. It is a constitutional monarchy located by the Mediterranean Sea, and while Monaco is not part of the European Union, it does participate in some EU policies. The country is perhaps most famous for the Monte Carlo casino and for hosting the Monaco Grand Prix, the world's most prestigious Formula One race. The global population Globally, the population density per square kilometer is about 60 inhabitants, and Asia is the most densely populated region in the world. The global population is increasing rapidly, so population density is only expected to increase. In 1950, for example, the global population stood at about 2.54 billion people, and it reached over eight billion during 2023.

Population density in the United States Population density has been tracked for over two hundred years in the United States. Over the last two centuries, the number of people living in the United States per square mile has grown from 4.5 in 1790 to 87.4 in 2010. After examining the data in detail, it becomes clear that a major population increase started around 1870. Population density was roughly 11 at the time and has doubled in the last century. Since then, population density grew by about 16 percent each decade. Population density doubled in 1900, and grew in total by around 800 percent until 2010.

The population density of the United States varies from state to state. The most densely populated state is New Jersey, with 1,208 people per square mile living there.

A number of New England states follow at the top of the ranking, making the northeastern region of the United States the most densely populated region of the country.

The least populated U.S. state is the vast territory of Alaska. Only 1.3 inhabitants per square mile reside in the largest state of the U.S.

Compared to other countries around the world, the United States does not rank within the top 50, in terms of population density. Most of the leading countries and territories are city states.

The USACE SACS Population and Infrastructure Exposure Index combines the normalized score of each Infrastructure and Population Index, and then re-normalizes these values across the study area.The SACS Infrastructure Exposure Index was created by spatially joining 52 infrastructure datasets from DHS’s HIFLD database and Military Installation Ranges and Training Areas from the DOD OSD to census tracts across the study area. The infrastructure elements were assigned a weighting value consistent with the NACCS Tier 1 Methodology (URL). The weighted infrastructure element values were then aggregated by count within each census tract, and then divided by the census tract area to generate an infrastructure density value. This infrastructure density value was then enumerated and ranked across all census tracts, and normalized to 0 to 1 using these rankings. The census tract feature dataset was then converted to a grid using these normalized values for aggregation with other SACS datasets.The SACS Population Exposure Index depicts the 2015 Census – American Community Survey data as population density. This population density is calculated as persons per square mile, per census tract. The census tracts depicted are within the USACE South Atlantic Coastal Study boundaries with an inland extent of NOAA’s Category 5 Maximum of Maximum Storm Surge Hazard Layer. The index ranks all census tracts within the SACS study area on a percentile index by population density. These data are represented on a normalized scale of 0 to 1, with 1 being the most densely populated census tract in the study area, and zero being the least densely populated census tract. The census tract feature dataset was then converted to a grid using these normalized values for aggregation with other SACS datasets.References:DHS HIFLDhttps://gii.dhs.gov/hifld/DOD OSDhttps://www.acq.osd.mil/dodsc/fast41_gisdatasets.htmlUS Censushttps://www.census.gov/NACCS (appendix C, page 107)https://www.nad.usace.army.mil/Portals/40/docs/NACCS/NACCS_Appendix_C.pdfThis Tier 1 dataset is available for download here:Tier 1 Risk Assessment Download

</ul>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.
