Population Distribution
Population Distribution may be defined as the arrangement or spread of people living in a given area; also, how the population of an area is arranged according to variables such as age, race, or sex.
How to construct a population distribution map (choropleth)
Parish | Area (KM) | Population (‘000s) | Density | Clarendon | 1196 | 237 | 198 | Hanover | 450 | 67 | 149 | Kgn/St. Andrew | 453 | 652 | 1439 | Manchester | 830 | 186 | 224 | Portland | 814 | 80 | 98 | St. Ann | 1213 | 167 | 138 | St. Catherine | 1192 | 482 | 404 | St. Elizabeth | 595 | 146 | 245 | St. James | 610 | 175 | 287 | St. Mary | 611 | 112 | 183 | St. Thomas | 743 | 92 | 124 | Trelawny | 875 | 73 | 83 | Westmoreland | 807 | 139 | 172 |
Population Density
Population Density maybe defined as the number of people living per unit of an area (e.g. per square mile); the number of people relative to the space occupied by them.
How to calculate population density: Divide population by area and round off to the nearest whole number.

Area
Example:
The population for Jamaica is 2,635,400 and the area is 10,991. Calculate the population density. 2,635,400 = 239.778 =240km 10,991
