How we got the density
- Density is the one figure on this page that is calculated rather than looked up: population ÷ area.
- 5.8 million people = 5,800,000 people. Divided by 734 km²: 7901.91 people per km², which rounds to 7,902.
Check it backwards
7,902 × 734 km² ≈ 5,799,995 people — back to the population, apart from the rounding of the density to a whole number.
