Projected population divided by source footprint area.
Publisher 2025 population projection from GHS-POP R2023A and morphological urban-footprint area; density is their ratio. Not a current census count, municipal population or livability score. Shared footprints repeat one contextual measurement, not independent city estimates.
Read the geography
A city name can describe several places.
The source calls this footprint Quito, urban-centre ID 2544. A morphological urban centre follows connected settlement; it does not establish municipal limits, current commuting patterns or a particular neighborhood’s conditions.
The atlas outline is a simplified design from the source geometry. The source reference point is not a surveyed address or a reviewed city-centre pin. A city’s municipal population, metro population and this projection may differ without any of them being the same measure.
