Arithmetic density – The total number of people / area of land measured in km² or mi².

Physiological density – The total population divided by the amount of arable land.

Agricultural density – The total rural population to the amount of agricultural land.

Residential density – The number of people living in an urban area divided by the amount of residential land.

Ecological optimum – The density of population which can be supported by the area's natural resources.

Using Arithmetic density, two areas having the same amount of people could have dif densities if one has more area than the other.

Mode is the means of knowing Population densities.

For example, 2 populations of each 70 people (teenagers) cannot have the same mode (population density)
Population 1: (Evenly distributed)
Age 13: 10
Age 14: 10
Age 15: 10
Age 16: 10
Age 17: 10
Age 18: 10
Age 19: 10

Population 2: (unevenly distributed)
Age 13: 5
Age 14: 10
Age 15: 15
Age 16: 30
Age 17: 5
Age 18: 3
Age 19: 2

example
Sate of Rhode Island has population of X (ie: 1.2 million)
smallest state in US

Not the smallest state in the US

the difference would lie in the interests as the interests would determine their behavior if such population is given the opprtunity or deterred from intersocial
activity. another case is difference in demographics, like in its extreme an all-male group as with all female group or mixed
