The population density of the city which is the ratio of population size and the land area is 1419 people per square mile.

  • The initial population = 2496435
  • The percentage increase in population = 7.9%

  • Land Area = 1898 mi²

The population of the city on 2015 can be calculated thus :

  • (1 + percent increase) × initial population

  • (1 + 0.079) × 2496435 = 2693653.365 people

The population of a city is calculated using the relation :

  • Population density = Population / Land Area

  • Population density = 2693653.365/1898

  • Population density = 1419.21

Therefore, the population density is 1419 people per square mile.
