Population in Dwellings Density Explained

Population in dwellings density is the number of people in a chosen dwelling type per square kilometre of land. Place Forecast works it out as the resident population in dwellings divided by the land area. Use the dwelling filter above the chart to pick detached, medium or high density, or non-private dwellings.

Unlike population density or dwellings density, this page counts only the residents in the chosen dwelling type. For non-private dwellings, the values reflect where the facility sits more than household choice. Those residents often have different planning needs.

A few things matter when you read this metric:

  • The top of the sum is just one dwelling type. The bottom is the whole area's land, including parks, roads, and parts where that type does not exist. So the result is a gross density of a subpopulation across the whole area, not the density at which they live in their own pockets of land.
  • Density is not the same as crowding. Crowding is about how many people share a home. Density is about how people spread over land.
  • The land area stays fixed within an ASGS edition. Only the population changes over time.

The comparison page opens on a Dorling cartogram by default. A plain map can mislead for density. Large areas draw the eye. A Dorling sizes each area by value, not by land area, so the eye reads the rate, not the shape. You can switch to a Demers cartogram or a plain choropleth map from the toolbox.
