Answer 2

This question has been asked numerous time before on this site.

Even though by looking at the map you would assume Atlantic Canada, its not, Central Canada has the largest population density.  If you are looking at a choropleth map, make sure you understand its divisions and its maximum values.

Let me demonstrate.  Remember Population density is the amount of people per area of land.

Pacific Canada

BC - Area: 944,735 km², Pop: 4,428,356

Alberta - Area: 661,848 km², Pop: 3,512,368

Total - Area: 1,606,583km², Pop: 7,940,724

Density: 4.94/km²

Central Canada

Ontario - Area: 1,076,395 km², Pop: 12,891,787

Quebec - Area: 1,542,056 km², Pop: 7,744,530

Total - Area: 2,618,451 km², Pop: 20,636,317

Density: 7.88/km²

Atlantic Canada

NS - Area: 55,283 km², Pop: 935,962

NB - Area: 72,908 km² , Pop: 751,527

NFLD - Area: 405,212 km², Pop: 508,270

PEI - Area: 5,683.56 km² , Pop: 139,407

Total - Area: 539,087 km², Pop: 3,589,832

Density: 6.65/km²

I won't bother with the territories or Prairie provinces because they both have extremely low population densities.

So as you can see, Central Canada has the largest population density according to your breakdown.
