The number of individuals per unit of area

Real World Example

Imagine trying to find a parking spot at a crowded shopping mall during the holiday season. Just like the difficulty of squeezing your car into a limited space filled with other vehicles, population density measures how many individuals occupy a specific area. In both scenarios, whether it's cars per parking lot or people per square mile, the concept highlights the challenge of fitting a certain number into a confined space, emphasizing how cramped or spacious an area can feel based on its occupancy.
