5.8/100 = x/18,801,310 ==================================> x = 1,090,475.98 =================================> 18,801,310 + 1,090,475.98 = 19,891,785.98 population at 2014 =============================> 19,891,785.98/53,625 = about 371 people per square mile in 2014 =================================> 18,801,310/53,625 = about 351 people per square mile in 2010 =================================> 371 - 351 = 20 people per square mile increase from 2010 to 2014

The population density in people per square mile is 370.94.

What is the population density?

Population density is the number of people living in a square mile of an area. It is determined by dividing total population by total area.

Population density = population / area

  • Population density in 2010 =  18,801310 / 53625 = 350.61
  • Population density in 2014 =  (1.058 x 18,801310) / 53625 = 370.94
  • Change in the population density = 370.94 -  350.61 = 20.33
