Enter the total population and the land area in hectares into the calculator to determine the density per hectare.
Density Per Hectare Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the density per hectare.
D = P / A
Variables:
- D is the density per hectare
- P is the total population
- A is the land area in hectares
To calculate the density per hectare, divide the total population by the land area in hectares.
What is Density Per Hectare?
Density per hectare is a measure of population density which is expressed as the number of individuals per hectare of land. This metric is commonly used in urban planning and agricultural studies to understand the distribution of population or organisms within a given area. It helps in assessing the usage of land resources and planning for infrastructure, services, and environmental impact.
How to Calculate Density Per Hectare?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Density Per Hectare.
- First, determine the total population (P).
- Next, determine the land area in hectares (A).
- Use the formula from above = D = P / A.
- Finally, calculate the Density Per Hectare (D).
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Total Population (P) = 1000 individuals
Land Area (A) = 2 hectares
