This is a list of countries showing past and future population density, ranging from 1950 to 2300, as estimated by the 2017 revision of the World Population Prospects database by the United Nations Population Division.

However, if only the Earth's land area of 150,000,000 km 2 (58,000,000 sq mi) is taken into account, then human population density is 53/km 2 (140/sq mi). This includes all continental and island land area, including Antarctica. However, if Antarctica is excluded, then population density rises to over 58 per square kilometre (150/sq mi). [1]
The national 1 July, mid-year population estimates (usually based on past national censuses) supplied in these tables are given in thousands.
