Ans: Regional Distribution of Population:
The Punjab is the most populous province of the country. Pakistan’s 53
percent population lives in the Punjab. The Punjab has a density of 535
persons per square kilo meter, 35 persons live in one square kilometer in
Balochistan, 339 persons per one square kilometers in Sindh and 349 per
square kilometers in KPK. According to the UN statistics population density
in Pakistan in 1961 was 61 persons per square kilometers, it has increased
st a phenomenal rate. This is important to note that this population is not
evenly distributed in the country. Balochistan has least population density.
Some areas of Sindh and Gilgit-Baltistan are also thinly populated. There is
high concentration of population in agriculturally fertile and industrially
developed areas of the Punjab, Sindh and KPK. In urban areas per square
kilometer concentration touches very high figures i.e. from 750 to 5000. The
density is even higher in cities like Lahore and Karachi.
