APFIVE Calculating Population Density Change
Based on the table above, calculate the percentage change in population density resulting from urban sprawl.
Scenario Data:
Before Urban Sprawl: Area = 100 km², Population = 1,000,000
After Urban Sprawl: Area = 150 km², Population = 1,200,000
Use these values to determine the change in population density.
A
No change in population density.
B
A 20% increase in population density.
C
A 20% decrease in population density.
D
A 25% decrease in population density.
