What patterns do you see?

Page 5: Chapter 4: A Place to Live

Population PatternsThe population of Atlantic Canada is unevenly distributed.

•Population Density – how many people living on a given area of land. (found by dividing the population by the area of a region)

Page 9: Chapter 4: A Place to Live

Just because a region has a large population, it does not mean it has a high population density.

Page 10: Chapter 4: A Place to Live

• Population Distribution – where the population is located.

When describing the population of an area, both density and distribution must be considered.

The Rural-Urban Mix

Page 12: Chapter 4: A Place to Live

Urban Centers – concentrations of people living in one area. Must have at least 1000 people and a population density of 400 or more persons/km2. Also known as cities.

Rural Area – countryside

Page 13: Chapter 4: A Place to Live

Rural Push – conditions such as unemployment which force people to leave the countryside.

• Urban Pull – conditions that attract people to cities.

Much of the outmigration from the Atlantic

Provinces is to other parts of Canada, but some is to other countries.
