Population
• Two useful ways that geographers can graphically display population information include:
• Population Maps to depict population density
• Population Pyramids to depict population distribution
![Page 3: Population Pyramids and Population Density Maps](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813144550346895d97c1c8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Population Density…
• …is a measure of how many people live in a certain unit area
• Take the population of a region and divide it by its square area
• Ex.: The population density of Texas is 79.6/mi²
• On average, 79.6 people live in a square mile in Texas

One type of population map shows one dot for every certain number of
people who live in a place:

Another type shows population as color coded regions:

Population Pyramids
• A population pyramid is a bar graph, usually in the shape of a pyramid, used to compare different age groups of men and women.
![Page 9: Population Pyramids and Population Density Maps](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813144550346895d97c1c8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Population Pyramids
• These graphs show how a population is distributed between age groups and sexes by percentages or numbers.

• Lower age groups are at the bottom
• Men are left of center
• Women are right of center

• In this pop. pyramid, the majority of the population is young, because there is a high birth rate and a high death rate

India, year 2000: large young population, high birth rate, high death rate
![Page 13: Population Pyramids and Population Density Maps](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813144550346895d97c1c8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
India, year 2025: death rate decreases, the younger population grows older

India, year 2050: the population has bulged in the 25-39 age groups

Population Growth Theories
Malthusian Theory
• In 1798 Thomas Malthus published his theory• The population will continue to
grow until it surpasses the food supply
• People will starve reducing the population back to a sustainable level
![Page 22: Population Pyramids and Population Density Maps](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813144550346895d97c1c8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Neo-Malthusian Theory
• The population is growing faster than Malthusian anticipated• Beyond the capacity of food and:
• Clean air
• Living space
• Fuel
![Page 23: Population Pyramids and Population Density Maps](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813144550346895d97c1c8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
According to these theories, a catastrophe is imminent to reset the
population• World population since 500
A.D.
• Evidence:• Starvation in Africa
• Loss of farmland in China, South America, and Africa
• Natural disasters worldwide
