Center of population
Geographical point / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Population centre" redirects here. For the Canadian census geographic unit, see Census geographic units of Canada § Population centres.
In demographics, the center of population (or population center) of a region is a geographical point that describes a centerpoint of the region's population. There are several ways of defining such a "center point", leading to different geographical locations; these are often confused.[1]
