I am from Malé island in the Maldives , yup there are that many ppl on that tiny island but there are more cars on it than ppl
Very cool. The photos online looked crazy, good to hear from someone who lives there.
Why? Everything must be in walking distance. This is why the sea is swallowing it.
What is the point in owning a car on such a small island?
@@grubert3535 As someone from Male,For Travel to Hulemale and HuleHule(The airport near male that's bigger than male)
I really enjoy your videos! However, I think it would be interesting to go in depth on some of these islands and how they live. Keep making great content!
That definitely would be cool. This one is more of a "list video" than most of my content.
"Peopled" is a term I never thought I'd hear ever.
Yeah I kind of just made up a definition for it for this video. I've "people" used as a verb in other contexts though, like "the peopling of the Americas"
@@SignoreGalilei To be honest, I like how you use "people" as a verb, so I'll subscribe.
Thanks!
Having studied the migration of Homo sapiens from Eastern Africa it’s a somewhat common word, at least anthropologically
It is what made me click. Definitely wouldn't have clicked if it had a boring title like populated.
I watch lots of videos with topics like this and I thought this was some big big popular video until I noticed the small view count. I hope you break the algorithm soon with others like you did for me
Tsing Yi although sounds like dense shockingly have huge wild area down south and large amount of hill with trees in it , population is like 50% low income family with elderly in south while 50% high income working class family stick next to shoreline and train station while actually have fair bit of land for factory and shipping . It even have literally 20% of land used for grave and malls . In fact you felt less dense in Tsing Yi compare to other area in Hong Kong , crazy uhh ?
I guess it must be because the buildings are so tall. If everyone's stacked up vertically then there's plenty of space to go around.
I guess that's the difference with comparing Tsing Yi with somewhere like Mong Kok.
One's a quiet residential area (quiet by HK standards) where all the buildings are tall and out of sight, while the other is a busy market where the buildings are only 10 storeys tall. Even tho Mong Kok is less dense in total, it's much busier than Tsing Yi
Haven't seen the whole video yet but surely the most extreme must be the main and capital island of the Maldives. Completely urbanised more then Manhatten.
Yep, Malé in the Maldives is very prominent on the list. That's why it's the thumbnail!
@@SignoreGalilei know it all
@@fshoaps I mean, I did make this video to teach people stuff, I'm just trying to do the same for anyone who might scroll by.
ranking island country's by population
where would Cuba , Singapore and Madagascar rank on the list ?
Also Japan ,and the UK and Ireland , and Falkland Islands ?
Greenland and Faeroe Islands territories of Denmark are some of the least peopled / densely populated island countrys,
of the world.
@@TheNecropolis20 Singapore's main island just misses the list in this video. The rest of your comment sounds like an entirely separate video though.
Thanks for including Indonesia
You're welcome! It was on the list so it was pretty easy to include haha.
This is really cool. Seems like something you’d see in an interview question!
That's a good way of putting it. Glad you enjoyed it.
It'd be nice to have the densities pre-calculated so that I could easily tell how much more peopled some are
I'll keep that in mind. I might put those in the description at some point (no guarantees though)
Agreed, population density would be very relevant. Peace to you all.
Changed title to most populated and the views will come.
I was expecting Staten Island after Manhattan Island but it didn't make the list.
Yeah, Staten Island has more area and fewer people than Manhattan, but it's still very dense especially by US standards.
Staten Island is very much suburbs compared to Manhattan and the rest of NYC
i think maldives was the craziest tbh
That's why I picked it as the thumbnail. I personally like Salsette the best though.
Yeah it looked like a Simcity island population challenge. Though Bonacca definitely had that "what the hell am I looking at" factor.
I was going to add "me" as the smallest most populated island. I feel isolated and alone but the internet keeps telling me that no man is an island.
It's a good quote. I hope you get to feel less isolated soon.
Ok nice video but I am curious about Greenland in the list because it show to have 76k population when i look up most of websites it's always says 56k
The Google sheet pulls directly from wikidata so the error might be from there. I also see 56k on most sites.
I’m a bit curious why you didn’t do number of standard deviations to capture distributional properties.
Would've been cool to do. I mostly analyzed this one just by eye.
@@SignoreGalilei I just realized this posted the comment on the wrong video. That’s a weird RUclips bug. I meant to post it on most average country 🫣
Oh huh, strange. With the average country one, I did end up doing a lot more stats but I didn't include them all in the video, mostly to avoid scope creep.
@@SignoreGalilei I think I’ll grab your data and do the stddev version. I’m a bit curious.
Awesome, let me know what you find!
this is good
I was expecting Long Island to make the list, but I guess Manhattan is close enough
Yep, Long Island gets beaten out by Salsette.
Most densely populated?
I mean it's really something like "most densely populated for their size" but that's too long of a title
Java is roughly the size of New York state, which itself has 20 million people. Java has over 120 million more people than our 4th largest state by population, and it's still growing.
Yeah, it's very populous!
we probably wouldn't need too many people to live there to make Busta Rhymes Island in Shrewsbury, MA a most peopled island. It's only about 150 sq meters
IIRC Montreal is also the most populated freshwater island in the world!
Cool!
Maybe the UK, Canary Islands and Gibraltar.
Those are fairly dense as well, but not enough to make the list. Also Gibraltar isn't quite an island, it's a peninsula.
How about Singapore? Some 6 million people live in a 700 sq. m. island.
I believe Salsette crowds more people into a slightly smaller area, but Singapore is quite close to making the list.
Migingo island ?
I think it's actually less dense than Ilet a Brouee, not sure off the top of my head.
This could easily be titled "list of places I have zero desire to ever visit."
Not a fan of crowds?
@@SignoreGalilei have you seen people lately? Ew.
Does Sealand fit on to this list?
Sealand may actually be larger than Ilet a Brouee
Is there any single city that's split far away?
Well Tokyo administratively includes a bunch of islands very far away from the Japanese home islands. I mention it in my video on the US's nearest neighbors.
@@SignoreGalilei but is there like a full fledge city that's split farthest? Not just a city that include some random island?
@@hikodzu Not sure, might be cool to find out.
@@SignoreGalilei cuz I've heard there's one somewhere in india? It was a colonial possession before?
@@hikodzu Well there's Puducherry (formerly Pondicherry) which used to be French, but that's a union territory rather than a city. It's entirely possible there's another similar one that I don't know about.
"My OCD. "Peopled Islands"
Yeah maybe there's a better name for it but I ruled out the most obvious other choices.
What about Malta?
Manhattan has more people in a smaller area than Malta does.
where venice?
I think Venice is missing because it's a lot of smaller, connected islands, each of which doesn't make the list on its own.
Curious how 2 of the entries were on the Saint Lawrence…
EDIT: Lol I thought this was on another video. The St. Lawrence river has loads of islands and is in a fairly populated part of the region, so I'm not all that surprised it's got two entries.
The Thousand Islands near the mouth of the St Lawrence river next to Lake Ontario has a bunch of tiny islands. It's really beautiful I'd recommend checking it out.
Most populated?
Something like that, though most populated might just be which islands have the most total people.
If I stood on a grain of sand 1mm in width, the population density would be 1 person per 10^-6 m^2, or 10^12 people / km^2
Certainly would be pretty hard to balance though.
I would suggest not using fake globe photos as an opener. As people become more aware you will really turn off people.
Do...do you mean flat Earth stuff? Because buddy, that ship has sailed. Over the horizon, mast last.
@@SignoreGalilei I would say the channel being a turn off for flat earthers is definitely a good thing lmao
Just because you dig a canal doesnt mean its too islands 🤦♂️
If it's a sea level canal rather than with locks it kinda does
@@SignoreGalilei thats not how it works
@@Y.d.o.b.o.n Then how does it work?
I like the video and liked it but people? Do you mean populated
What I really mean is "most densely populated for their size" and I figured this would be the best I could do with just a single word. Might have been better if I went with something else, or maybe not.
*Populated
Yeah, I was considering that. That sort of implies a list of the islands with the most people on them regardless of size, so this is what I went with. Don't know if it was the right decision or not.
@@SignoreGalilei It's alright, btw good video I liked it👍
Thanks!
@@SignoreGalilei No problem 👍
"People" is not a verb. You cannot refer to an island as being "peopled" the way that you can refer to a room as being "painted." You're measuring population density. Your criterion is to compare the size of the island to its population, which gives you its population density. Therefore, you are not making a list of the most "populous" islands - which would be the closest approximation I can think of to the nonce word "peopled", you are compiling a list of the most densely populated islands in the world.
It's also important to note that the number of people on many of these urban islands swells during business hours and the population of many resort islands jump up dramatically during holiday periods. Manhattan island for example, may be home to around 1.6 million people; however, the number of daily commuters and tourists more than doubles that figure.
I have heard "Peopled" occasionally used as a verb, for instance "the peopling of the Americas". I used it in an unorthodox form here intentionally because "These are the World's Islands with the Highest Population Density Relative to their Area" was too long a title.
You make a good point about commuters on islands like Manhattan. It's much easier to find residence data rather than commuter data though.
@@SignoreGalilei Fair enough, I suppose it can work in that context. And yes, that would have been a rather cumbersome title.
I can't understand
What part is hard to understand? Maybe I can help clear it up
