What is the different between population distribution ad population density?

The way in which people are spread across a given area is known as population distribution. Geographers study population distribution patterns at different scales: local, regional, national, and global. Patterns of population distribution tend to be uneven. For example, in Ireland there are more people living in the south and east than in the border counties and the west.

Population density is the average number of people per square kilometre. It is a way of measuring population distribution. It shows whether an area is sparsely or densely populated. Population density is calculated using the following formula: Population density = total population divided by total land area in km²
