Answer 2

In 2014, the population of Hong Kong was estimated to be approximately 7,112,688 people. The city covers an area of approximately 426.25 square miles.

The number of people = 7,112,688

City area = 426.25 square miles

The population density = $\frac{Number of people}{City area}$

= $\frac{7112688}{426.25}$

= 16686.65806 people per square mile

The population density of Hong Kong in 2014 is 16687.
