What is definition arithmetic density?

Arithmetic density is a statistical measure used to describe the population density of an area. It is calculated by dividing the total population of a given area by the total land area. This gives a measure of the number of people per unit of land area.

Arithmetic density is widely used by geographers, sociologists, and urban planners to assess the population density of cities, regions, and countries. It provides a basic indication of how crowded an area is, and can be used to compare population densities between different regions and countries.

However, arithmetic density does not provide a complete picture of population density. It does not take into account factors such as the distribution of population within an area, or variations in population density at different times of the day or year. Other measures, such as population-weighted density, are better suited for these purposes.
