Population distribution

Population distribution is how people are spread out across a place. A population can be spread out differently in different places. Sometimes the population is spread out mostly in one area, and other times the population is spread out over a larger area. Population distribution can have an effect on things like healthcare and transportation. For example, if the population of a city is mostly in one area, it may be hard for people who live further away to get to healthcare facilities or transportation.
