What is peripheral population density?

Peripheral population density refers to the distribution and concentration of people living in the outer, often less developed areas of urban or metropolitan regions, as opposed to the core or central areas. This phenomenon can occur due to factors such as urban sprawl, the availability of affordable housing, and the desire for more space or a suburban lifestyle. As populations migrate to these peripheral areas, they can experience different social, economic, and environmental dynamics compared to those in densely populated urban centers.
