Take a closer look at Canada and the United States. What factors have influenced people, especially people here in Atlantic Canada, to settle where they have?

Population PatternsThe population of Atlantic Canada is unevenly distributed.
•Population Density – how many people living on a given area of land. (found by dividing the population by the area of a region)
![Page 9: Chapter 4: A Place to Live](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050721/5681601e550346895dcf1d45/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Just because a region has a large population, it does not mean it has a high population density.

• Population Distribution – where the population is located.
When describing the population of an area, both density and distribution must be considered.

The Rural-Urban Mix
![Page 12: Chapter 4: A Place to Live](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050721/5681601e550346895dcf1d45/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Urban Centers – concentrations of people living in one area. Must have at least 1000 people and a population density of 400 or more persons/km2. Also known as cities.
Rural Area – countryside
![Page 13: Chapter 4: A Place to Live](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050721/5681601e550346895dcf1d45/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Rural Push – conditions such as unemployment which force people to leave the countryside.
• Urban Pull – conditions that attract people to cities.

Outmigration – movement away from an area.
Much of the outmigration from the Atlantic
Provinces is to other parts of Canada, but some is to other countries.
