Well, I’m not proud of us.
There is something wrong tho, your image is not sorted by descending density (e.g., Israel with 380 is above Haiti with 401). Therefore, the image doesn’t support your statement (as is).
Benelux is well known for having an absurd population density
This takes into account the full area but it should be based on inhabitable or inhabited area.
For example Egypt has a population density in the low 100’s, but when you deduct uninhabited areas, it’s in the low thousands and has a higher density than Bangladesh here.
Sometimes I feel like I can’t breathe with all you motherfuckers being all up in my space
Big reason why Covid gained so much ground so fast here.
Well.. the real estate prices are not that bad then.. especially when comparing with neighbouring countries.
I’m quite surprised by Rwanda, especially accounting for the fact that there was a genocide recently.
I guess that explains why, whenever I’m waiting in line, I can always feel someone’s breath in my neck.
Now compare with Flanders instead of the whole country and see us rising in the ranks :-p
Density in Flanders just isn’t healthy
All I see is export opportunities for Lintbebouwing (c) ™
Without wallonia it’s a lot higher, like 480
Obviously with our 3th biggest Port and 2th most busiest Port in the world and good old Ring of antwerp.
It might not feel super dense because we’re not like Tokyo and there is still a lot of green and farmland. But you have to keep in mind that in Belgium you’re never more than 10-20 minutes away from a village or a town.
3.5% of egypt is actually livable, meaning you got 102.3M people living on 51.000km² that density means you got a density of 2k people per km².
These graphs don’t hold a lot of information, so belgium BY FAR doesn’t have the same population pressure as do every single other one in this list. (even the netherlands)
ISrael’s pop density is lower than ranks below it.. smth went wrong in the script there..
One of the reasons is because our country is just very small.
As a comparison: in Shanghai almost 27million people live in one city. Hangzhou a middle sized city in China has more or less the same population of Belgium.
That’s a strange addendum. It’s also the world’s most densely populated country with a population higher than 11.3, but lower than 14M
What an oddly specific set of countries
My neighbor upvotes this while reading over my shoulder through my window.
I’d believe it. It was one of the craziest culture shocks I had while visiting you guys from Canada.
TIL Netherlands is more densely populated than BE. Thanks Wallonia!
No wonder everyone is easily annoyed and bitter here.

STRAYA… 3 people per square kilometre. Bonza! 😁
