| Water supply - Higher near water supply, lower where scarce | Political - Government investment in an area → Higher density |
| Natural Resources - Large amounts of natural resources → Higher population density | Social - Better housing, education and services → More dense |
| Relief - Mountainous areas → Lower density [Difficulty in building and growing], Flat land → Higher density | |
| Slope, aspect, altitude | Culture - Larger families are often valued highly → More dense |
| Soil Quality - Fertile → High [Easier crop growth] |
