Population density is displayed as an area and its related conditions. 

The types of population density are as follows:

1. Arithmetical Density: The number of people residing in per square kilometre area is called Arithmetical Density. It is expressed as a ratio of total population and total area.

2. Functional Density: Functional density represents the ratio of the population of an area and the agricultural land in that area. This is also called the ratio of human and agricultural land.

3. Agricultural Density: The agricultural density of a state represents the ratio of the total agricultural population of that state and the total agricultural land. Farmers, agricultural workers and members of their families are included in agricultural population.

4. Economic or Numerical Density: To compute the economic density of a state, the weighted index of the population is divided by the production capacity index of all the economic resources of that state as a percentage.

5. Nutritional Density: It represents the ratio of the total population of a state and the area under food crops cultivation of that state.
