How do you calculate population density using census?
Persons per square mile – population and housing unit density are computed by dividing the total population or number of housing units within a geographic entity by the land area of that entity measured in square miles or in square kilometers.
How do you find the maximum population density?
To calculate the population density, you will divide the population by the size of the area. Thus, Population Density = Number of People/Land Area. The unit of land area should be square miles or square kilometers. You can use square feet or meters if you are finding the density of a smallish space.

State/state equivalent entity-based text files containing the mean centers of population for each census tract within a state/state equivalent entity for the 2010 Census. State/state equivalent entity-based text files containing the mean centers of population for each census block group within a state/state equivalent entity for the 2010 Census.
When was the first census of the population?
The mean centers of population of the United States from the first Census of Population in 1790 to 2010. This series of plots provides a way to view the variations in movement and distance from one mean center of population to another. In these slides, the compass on the right marks the starting decade for each pair of centers.
