Top 10 largest economies by GDP

Population density is calculated as the population divided by the total land area.

The European city-state of Monaco is the most densely populated country, with a population density of 25,732 people per sq. km (66,646/sq. mile), and its population only numbers in thousands. The Chinese territory of Macau has the world's 2nd highest population density at 22,563/km². Only these two have over 10,000 people per square kilometer. The population density of 3rd-ranked Singapore is the highest among countries/territories with over one million people. Hong Kong and Gibraltar complete the list of the top five most densely populated countries/territories. Among the top 10, six are located in Asia, and three are located in Europe.

All top 8 countries/territories by population density have a population below 10 million. Of the 94 larger countries having a population of over 10 million, Bangladesh (1,350) has the greatest density, followed by Taiwan (652.7), Rwanda (601.8), Burundi (554.5), and the Netherlands (544.9). In the list of 237, 13 have more than 1000 humans per square kilometer.

Greenland is the least densely populated territory in the world, with 0.136 people per sq. km. With 0.285 people per square km, the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) is the least densely populated country, followed by Mongolia and Western Sahara. The five least dense countries with a population of over 10 million are Australia (3.51), Canada (4.41), Kazakhstan (7.72), the Russian Federation (8.79), and Bolivia (Plurinational State of) (11.61).

Out of countries having at least ten million people, top-ranked Bangladesh is 385 times as dense as the lowest-ranked Australia.
