The value for Population density (people per sq. km of land area) in IDA total was 68.37 as of 2020. As the graph below shows, over the past 59 years this indicator reached a maximum value of 68.37 in 2020 and a minimum value of 15.57 in 1961.

Definition: Population density is midyear population divided by land area in square kilometers. Population is based on the de facto definition of population, which counts all residents regardless of legal status or citizenship--except for refugees not permanently settled in the country of asylum, who are generally considered part of the population of their country of origin. Land area is a country's total area, excluding area under inland water bodies, national claims to continental shelf, and exclusive economic zones. In most cases the definition of inland water bodies includes major rivers and lakes.
