Answer :
The population density of the city which is the ratio of population size and the land area is 1419 people per square mile.
- The initial population = 2496435
- The percentage increase in population = 7.9%
- Land Area = 1898 mi²
The population of the city on 2015 can be calculated thus :
- (1 + percent increase) × initial population
- (1 + 0.079) × 2496435 = 2693653.365 people
The population of a city is calculated using the relation :
- Population density = Population / Land Area
- Population density = 2693653.365/1898
- Population density = 1419.21
Therefore, the population density is 1419 people per square mile.
