List of countries and dependencies by population density

This is a list of countries and dependencies ranked by population density, sorted by inhabitants per square kilometre or square mile.

The list also includes unrecognized but de facto independent countries.

The figures in the table are based on areas including internal bodies of water such as bays, lakes, reservoirs and rivers.

The list does not include entities not on ISO 3166-1, except for states with limited recognition.

Unless otherwise noted, areas and populations are sourced from the United Nations World Population Prospects, which uses the latest censuses and official figures, as well as figures from the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs.
