Population Distribution
The number of people in a space
What is Population Density?
Are there enough jobs for working-age people, or enough people to fill jobs?
What is an Economic Impact?
is the total number of live births in an area for every 1,000 people alive.
What is crude birth rate?
1. Medical advances extend life expectancy,
along with better diets and reduced use of tobacco.
2. Life expectancy is very high, although more
sedentary lifestyles can become problematic.
What is stage 4
policies enacted by governments at various scales to promote births.
The spatial spread of people in a space
What is Population distribution?
Are there enough hospitals to care for the health needs of the population?
What is a social impact?
the average number of children a woman will have in her childbearing years.
1. Infectious and parasitic diseases make a return, this time they are resistant to antibiotics! (Think vaccine-resistant diseases like strains of COVID!)
2. This and rising urbanization lead to a decline in population.
What is stage 5?
policies enacted by governments at various scales to restrict birth.
What is Anti-Natalist Policies?
calculated by dividing a regions population by its total area
What is Arithmetic Population Density
If the population is older, are there resources for pensions and elder care?
What is a social impact?
is the total number of deaths in one year per 1,000 people.
1. Improved sanitation, better nutrition/food security, better medicine.
2. Pandemics are still an issue, but life expectancy begins to increase.
What is stage 2?
published what is considered the first theory on population growth (Full Name)
Who is Thomas Malthus?
divide the population by the amount of arable (farmable land)
What is Physiological Population Density
Are there jobs in places where people need work?
What is an Economic Impact?
to how many babies under one year of age die in each year compared to live births.
What is infant mortality rate?
1. Causes of Death: Infectious and parasitic diseases, crop failure, animal attacks.
2. Endemic (local), epidemic (regional), and pandemic (across regions)
What is stage 1

What are Ravensteins Laws?
Take the total number of farmers of an area and divide it by the amount of arable land.

The Constitution requires adjustments to boundaries every 10 years based on census data to maintain a similar number of votes per district
What is a political impact?
the percentage by which a population grows in a year.
What it rate of natural increase?
1. Fewer infectious disease deaths. Instead, people more likely to die of age-related diseases such as cancer, strokes, and heart disease.
2. Life expectancy increases and death rates decrease.
What is stage 3?
used to project population growth and decline and to predict markets for goods and services.
What is a Population Pyramid?
