New Zealand has a population of 4,326,380 and has an area of 103,736 mi while Australia has an area of 2,967,909 mi and a population of 21,905,140. Explain how New Zealand can have a larger population density than Australia even though it has a smaller total population.

Answer:

Even though New Zealand has a smaller population than Australia, it has a greater population density because it covers a much smaller area. Australia’s population is approximately five times larger than New Zealand’s while the area Australia covers is approximately 30 times larger than the area New Zealand covers.
