In 1990, the density was 37 people per square kilometer and consistently rose throughout the years. By 2000, it reached 53 people per sq. km, reflecting ongoing demographic changes. This growth continued in the following decades, with population density reaching 66 by 2010 and 86 by 2021. Contributing factors include a high birth rate and the concentration of population in urban areas like Abidjan.
