Population Density in Bangladesh from 1990 to 2021

The chart highlights the rapid increase in Bangladesh’s population density from 1990 to 2021. In 1990, the density was already high at 823 people per square kilometer, rising consistently to reach 1,301 by 2021, an increase of over 58%. This growth reflects Bangladesh's status as one of the most densely populated countries in the world, driven by a combination of high birth rates and improving healthcare, which has lowered mortality rates. Despite significant economic growth and development, particularly in the garment and manufacturing sectors, the country's limited land area continues to face immense demographic pressure. Rapid urbanization, particularly in cities like Dhaka, has further contributed to the increasing population density, raising concerns about infrastructure, housing, and resource sustainability amidst continuous population growth
