European Countries by population (2021)
| # | Country (or dependency) | Density (P/Km²) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Russia | 9 |
| 2 | Germany | 240 |
| 3 | United Kingdom | 281 |

What part of Europe is most densely populated?
Paris
Paris – the most densely populated EU region Paris is by far the most densely populated EU region on NUTS3 level, with 21 000 inhabitants per square km. It is followed by the London boroughs of Tower Hamlets (15 000) and Lambeth (12 000). Of the 15 most densely populated regions in the EU, 10 are in the United Kingdom.
What factors affect Europe’s population density?
Physical factors that affect population density include water supply, climate, relief (shape of the land), vegetation, soils and availability of natural resources and energy. Human factors that affect population density include social, political and economic factors.
What are the 5 most densely populated countries?
Macao, Monaco, Singapore, Hong Kong and Gibraltar are the five most densely populated.
What is the most overpopulated country in Europe?

How can I find out the population density of Europe?
To begin with, I took Eurostat’s population density grid data for 2011 and mapped it. This divides Europe into areas of 1km², and then gives a population count for each area, so that we can compare like-with-like across Europe.
Which is the best map for population density?
If you are interested in looking at this issue globally, I recommend Duncan Smith’s World Population Density interactive map, or the World Bank’s data comparison tool. To begin with, I took Eurostat’s population density grid data for 2011 and mapped it.
How to make a chloropleth map of Europe?
To make a chloropleth map, you need to perform a join, for example with QGIS. Otherwise, here is an example of how to do that quickly with Eurostat_map.js tool. Otherwise, for finer spatial analyses, you can get the total population figures over Europe on a 1km resolution grid from Eurostat-GISCO website, for years 2006 and 2011.
Which is the most densely populated country in the world?
Consider a country such as Russia, where urban density is high, but there are vast swathes of empty land. The figures will tell you density is very low (eight people per km²); but this it not what most people in Russia experience in their daily lives. The same is true of Australia, Canada and other large, highly urbanised nations.
