Perspective on population density

The press of people in India can be intense. You see it on the roads, and on the streets. Some of this might be an artifact of Delhi….people leave their villages (where poverty is even more extreme) to become laborers of some sort in Delhi, perceived as an area with more opportunity.

Some perspective on population density here…India has roughly 4 times the population of the US, and 1/3 of the land size.

India: 3,287,263 sq km           Population India: 1,139,964,932

US: 9,826,675 sq km              Population US:  310,445,000
