Liste des pays et dépendances par densité de population
Il s’agit d’une liste de pays et de territoires dépendants classés par densité de population , mesurée par le nombre d’ habitants humains par Kilomètre carré ou mile carré , et également triable par superficie totale et par population. La liste comprend des États souverains et des territoires dépendants autonomes sur la base de la norme ISO ISO 3166-1 . La liste comprend également des pays non reconnus mais de facto indépendants. Les chiffres du tableau suivant sont basés sur des zones comprenant des plans d’eau internes tels que des baies, des lacs, des réservoirs et des rivières. La liste n’inclut pas les entités non conformes à la norme ISO 3166-1, sauf pour les États à reconnaissance limitée . Ainsi , les pays constitutifs qui ne sont pas inclus dans l’ ISO 3166-1 et d’autres entités qui ne figurent pas dans l’ ISO 3166-1 comme l’ Union européenne ne sont pas inclus. Les chiffres utilisés dans cet article sont principalement basés sur les derniers recensements et estimations ou projections officielles. Lorsqu’elles ne sont pas disponibles, les projections [1] fournies par la Division de la population du Département des affaires économiques et sociales des Nations Unies sont utilisées. [2]

Notes
- ^ The De Agostini Atlas Calendar listed the area of Vatican City as 0.44 km2 (0.17 sq mi) in its 1930 edition[6] but corrected it to 0.49 km2 (0.19 sq mi) in its 1945–46 edition.[7] The figure of 0.44 km2 (0.17 sq mi) is still widely cited by many sources despite its inaccuracy.
In 2019, the total population was 825, consisting of 453 residents and 372 nonresident citizens. For calculating the population density, only residents are considered. - ^ Also known as the Republic of China. Both the Republic of China and the People’s Republic of China officially claim to represent the whole of China, stating that China is de jure a single sovereign entity encompassing both the area controlled by the PRC and the area controlled by the ROC. Neither the PRC nor the ROC officially recognise each other’s claim to statehood, and they compete for diplomatic recognition as the only legitimate representative of China among other states. See: Political status of Taiwan, Cross-Strait relations, One-China policy, 1992 Consensus, and Two Chinas.
- ^ The political status of Kosovo is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, it is formally recognised as an independent state by 97 UN member states (with another 15 recognising it at some point but then withdrawing recognition), while Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory.
