population density
A statistical measure that indicates how many inhabitants live on average in a specific unit of area, usually per square kilometer. It is a measure of how densely populated an area is.
Monaco hat die höchste Bevölkerungsdichte der Welt.
Monaco has the highest population density in the world.
The word is made up of three parts: 'Bevölkerung' (population), the linking -s, and 'Dichte' (density). So it literally describes the density of the population in a specific area.
Die Bevölkerungsdichte in den Städten nimmt weiter zu.
Population density in cities continues to increase.
This noun is often combined with the adjectives 'hoch' (high), 'niedrig' (low), or 'gering' (low/small) to describe the degree of settlement.
Ländliche Regionen haben oft eine sehr geringe Bevölkerungsdichte.
Rural regions often have a very low population density.
To state the exact value, German often uses the verbs 'betragen' (to amount to/be) or 'liegen bei' (to be at), followed by the number of inhabitants per unit of area.
Die Bevölkerungsdichte Deutschlands beträgt etwa 236 Einwohner pro Quadratkilometer.
Germany's population density is about 236 inhabitants per square kilometer.
population
'Einwohnerzahl' and 'Bevölkerungsdichte' both have to do with the population of a place, but they do not mean the same thing. The 'Einwohnerzahl' tells you how many people live there in total. The 'Bevölkerungsdichte' tells you how many people live on average in a certain area, usually per square kilometer. The words can be confused because both often appear in texts about countries or cities. Remember: 'Einwohnerzahl' is the total number; 'Bevölkerungsdichte' shows how densely or sparsely populated an area is.
Wegen der hohen Bevölkerungsdichte sind Wohnungen in der Innenstadt oft teuer.
Because of the high population density, apartments in the city center are often expensive.
Im Gespräch hat sie die Einwohnerzahl von Berlin genannt.
