  8. Population Patterns The 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)

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

  10. Population Distribution– where the population is located. When describing the population of an area, both density and distribution must be considered.

  11. The Rural-Urban Mix

  12. 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

  13. Rural Push– conditions such as unemployment which force people to leave the countryside. • Urban Pull– conditions that attract people to cities.

  14. Outmigration – movement away from an area. Much of the outmigration from the Atlantic Provinces is to other parts of Canada, but some is to other countries.
