What to Focus On
- Population density = Total Population ÷ Total Area (persons per sq. km)
- World population is unevenly distributed — 90% lives in 10% of land area
- Four major population clusters: South Asia, East Asia, East-Central North America, Western Europe
- India's 2011 population: 121.02 crore — 2nd most populous country in the world
- India's mean population density: 382 persons/sq. km (2011 Census)
- Lowest density state: Arunachal Pradesh (17/sq. km); Highest: Delhi (11,297/sq. km)
- Geographical factors: latitude, relief, climate, and soil are primary natural determinants of population density
- Plains and river valleys have high density due to agriculture, transport, and water availability
- Economic factors: minerals, vegetation, water, irrigation, transport, and industry attract settlement
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Population density and population size mean the same thing — a state with more population has higher density
Human Development Index (HDI) only measures a country's income or GDP
Sex ratio means the ratio of males to females, so a higher number means more females
