Search / Calendar

The following is a list of islands, sorted by population density, and including islands that are connected to other land masses by a route other than sea or air, such as a bridge or a tunnel.


Most densely populated islands (over 1,000 people per km2)


Most of the really small islands (< 1 km2) are hard to compare because population as well as size are often only estimates.
