• More than 1000 per sq. Km.


• The density of population is less in Gadchiroli because it is located in the eastern district and it is densely forested and rain shadowing.


• Referring to the fig. given above:


Effect of Industries: Higher density indicates urbanization and higher levels of industrialization. Therefore Mumbai city district and Mumbai suburb district, Thane, Pune, and Nagpur districts have a higher density.


Effect of the area under forest: The rain shadow districts as well as the districts in the extreme east which are densely forested show less density.


Effect of Physiographic: The reliefs and mountains determine the availability of natural resources


Effect of Climate: The climatic conditions of a place also determine the density of population.
