Chapter 4: Fundamentals of Population, Location, Distribution & Density Demography ? Study of population. Key issues in population geography are population growth & migration. World population is growing in poorer countries by 80 million per year. Distribution of population describes location where people live, Population Density is the measure of number of people per unit area. Arithmetic population density is an average and is not a true measure. Physiological population density is the total population to area of cultivable land. There is strong correlation between high population density & areas with expanses of arable (farmable) land. Population data is unreliable!! Why ? because of high costs involved and disorganized information.
