1 (square kilometer) = 0.386102159 square miles
114 people / 2.6 sq. mi.
43.8 people / sq. mi
Cairo - Density 35,420/km²
Portugal is the 87th most densly populated country with 114 people / km^3

The world population is 6.5 billion humans, and Earth's area is 510 million square kilometers (200 million square miles). Therefore the world-wide human population density is 6.5 billion / 510 million = 13 per km² (33 per sq mi), or 43 per km² (112 per sq mi) considering that humans live on land, which forms 150 million km² (58 million sq mi) of the earth. This density rises with the population growth, and some people think there is a limit of what the Earth can support.
Several of the highest-density territories in the world are very small city-states, micronations or dependencies. These territories share a relatively small area and an exceptionally high urbanization level, with an economically specialized city population drawing also on rural resources outside the area, illustrating the difference between high population density and overpopulation.
Cities with exceptionally high population densities are often considered to be overpopulated, though the extent to which this is the case depends on factors like quality of housing and infrastructure or access to resources. Most of the largest densely-populated cities are in southern and eastern Asia, though Cairo and Lagos in Africa also fall into the category. City population is however, heavily dependent on the definition used for the urban area: densities will be far higher for the central municipality than when more recently-developed and as yet administratively unincorporated suburbs are included, as in the concepts of agglomeration or metropolitan area, the latter including sometimes neighbouring cities.

that is definitely not crowded. 1 kilometer (km) = .6214 mile so one sq km is about 0.388 square miles. Imagine a room about 3000 feet on each side and that's the size. now put 114 people in there and that is not very crowded is it? unless they were all congregated around one spot :-)
