File talk:Countries by population density.svg

Why South Asia has such a huge (>1000) population density but in no other place in that same latitude?

Germany and Switzerland Connected
In the first image, Germany and Switzerland are connected. Mateom28 (talk) 05:09, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

False Colouring
This image is wrong, as India (as I just checked, again in Wikipedia) has a population density of 336. In fact I calculated the value in the list of countries and dependencies by population density, it's correct India is 336. There might be other flaws, I didn't check em all. I'm leavin it to anyone who cares. --Dimitrakopulos (talk) 16:36, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

exactly what i came to point out here! India is represented with the 1000+ colour code while it needs to be represented with the 300-1000 colour as per the data on the india page. I would edit the map myself, if i knew how to. Myaoon (talk) 20:34, 18 December 2009 (UTC)


 * well if anyone would care enough to look at the improved image below, this issue wouldn't be there.. Junuxx (talk) 02:18, 26 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I think India is in fact coloured correctly at "300-1000", though the two colours are difficult to distinguish. The 1000+ colour seems not to be used for any larger country on the map. --Roentgenium111 (talk) 21:29, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Version with sub-country detail
I just uploaded File:Countries_and_regions_by_population_density.png



(small preview)

It shows basically the same things as this map, but with much more sub-national detail. This reveals interesting facts about the spread of population in, for example, the US, China or Russia.

However, I haven't filled in all the tiny Pacific and Caribbean island nations. And I don't know how to turn it into a SVG. Perhaps someone could combine the best of both maps? Junuxx (talk) 20:41, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
