List of islands by population density
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.
Continental landmasses
Continental landmasses are not usually classified as islands despite being completely surrounded by water. Nevertheless, for the purposes of this list, mainland Australia along with the other major landmasses have been listed as continental landmasses for comparison. The figures are approximations and are for the four major continental landmasses only.[Note 1]

2 | Americas | 37,699,623 | 14,555,906[Note 4] | 1.02 billion[3] | 22.67 | 58.7 |
3 | Australia[Note 5] | 7,591,608 | 2,931,136[Note 6] | 25,887,383 | 3.41 | 8.8 |
4 | Antarctica | 12,272,800 | 4,738,600[Note 7] | 1,300 to 5,100 (seasonal) | 0.00009 to 0.00036 | 0.00023 to 0.00093 (seasonal) |
Most densely populated islands (over 1,000 people per km2)
Accurate density estimates for the very small islands (less than 1 square kilometre or 0.39 square miles) are hard to obtain because population as well as landmass are often only estimates. Additionally, the populations of these islands are often highly transient, with many residents also maintaining a residence on a larger landmass and only living on the island seasonally.

Notes
- ^ Physiographically, there are only four continents (including offshore continental islands which sit on the nearby continental shelves) that are completely surrounded by water: Afro-Eurasia (57% of the global land area), the Americas (28.5%), Antarctica (9%), and Australia (5%). The remaining 0.5% is made up of remote oceanic islands, mostly scattered within Oceania in the central and south Pacific Ocean.[1]
- ^ Including landmasses which are above water and over 2,500,000 km2 (970,000 sq mi). The submerged continent of Zealandia (approx. 5,000,000 km2 (1,900,000 sq mi)) is excluded.[2]
- ^ Figure derived from the Global Islands Explorer website, by adding the areas of mainland Africa (29,370,907 km2 (11,340,171 sq mi)) and mainland Eurasia (50,439,819 km2 (19,474,923 sq mi)).
- ^ Figure derived from the Global Islands Explorer website, by adding the areas of mainland North America (20,090,075 km2 (7,756,821 sq mi)) and mainland South America (17,609,548 km2 (6,799,084 sq mi)).
- ^ Mainland Australia is more than three times the size of Greenland, the largest island.[4] Australia is sometimes dubbed "The Island Continent" or "Earth's largest island, but its smallest continent".[5]
- ^ Figure derived from the Geoscience Australia website, the area of mainland Tasmania (64,519 km2 (24,911 sq mi)) has been deducted.[6] The Global Islands Explorer website has given a slightly larger figure of 7,618,696 km2 (2,941,595 sq mi) for the area of mainland Australia.
- ^ Area of mainland Antarctica, without the ice shelves and nearby islands.[7]
