Population density Ontario and Québec
About 35.15 million people are living in the second largest country on earth, but most of them in the few big cities. Toronto is the largest city in Canada. The word “Canada” is derived from “Kanata”, a term from the Iroquois language and means village or settlement. Canada consists of 10 provinces and three territories, each with its own provincial capital.
Ontario and Québec, which are just two of 10 provinces and 3 territories of Canada, have a total land area of 2,265,156 km². This is about 6.3 times the size of Germany.
A total of 21.61 million people are living in this area, that is just 9.5 people per km². In the United Kingdom, on the other hand, it is 281 people per km2 with a total population of 67.756 million and in Germany 229 people share one km², out of a total population of 81.768 million.
The rest of Canada will be even less crowded. This is where the remaining 14 million people of Canada’s total population are to be found.
Four-fifths of Canada’s population live in the major cities, which means that the population/km² in the countryside is even smaller. Therefore, it should not be difficult to find a place where you can spend your free time in peace and quiet.
