From 1990 to 2021, Algeria’s population density has steadily increased, reflecting both demographic growth and urbanization trends. From 1994, a gradual rise became evident, reaching 12 people per sq. km by 1994 and accelerating further. By 2021, the population density stood at 19 people per sq. km. Factors such as natural population growth, driven by high birth rates, and rural-urban migration have contributed to this upward trend. Additionally, Algeria's large arid regions limit habitable land, increasing density in populated areas.
