In major cities, the population density is about 10 per square meter. In New York City, I have heard that house mice outnumber people about 1000 to 1. In the wild, house mice have lower population densities generally. Some estimates say as low as 1 per 1000 meters. In the world though... there is about 148.9 square kilometers of land. So, that's 148,900,000,000,000 sq meters, meaning around 148,900,000,000 house mice.

However, it is actually very difficult to get reliable estimates on overall populations of mus musculus, due to the fact that they tend to hide well, along with the fact that their populations explode and quickly drop. One small town in Australia once had no noticeable mouse population. A year later, it was estimated that there were nine million house mice living there. The population soon dropped though. Humans, predators, disease, and starvation wiped them out.

Apparently a lot because I'm moving out of a house right now that has them in it. They are really annoying.
