To solve the problem we must know about Population Density.

What is Population Density?

the population density of an area is the number of people living in per unit area. It is given by the formula,

[tex]\text{Population Density}=\dfrac{\text{Population of the area}}{\text{Total area}}[/tex]

The population density of the town is 20,512 people/km².

Given to us

  • the population of a town = 63,555
  • the land area of the town = 3.1 km².

Population density

[tex]\text{Population Density}=\dfrac{\text{Population of the area}}{\text{Total area}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Population Density}=\dfrac{63,555}{3.1}[/tex]

                             [tex]= 20,501.613 \approx 20,512\ people/km^2[/tex]

Thus, the number of people living in the area of 1 km is 20,512 people.

Hence, the population density of the town is 20,512 people/km².
