What We're Showing

This 3D map visualizes population density across India, based on data from various sources.

Key Takeaways

• Kolkata and Mumbai are incredibly dense, with over 24,000 people living within a square kilometer. This is significantly higher than Shanghai, which has 16,982 people per square kilometer
• Just south of the Himalayas lies the Indo-Gangetic plain, one of the most populated regions on Earth. Rivers fed by the massive mountain range make this region an exceptionally fertile agricultural zone
• A rare low density area can be spotted in the mid-east of the country. This area is heavily forested and home to several national parks, providing habitat for animals like buffalo and tigers
