The Taiwan population density map shows the number of inhabitants in relation to Taiwan size. This demographic map of Taiwan will allow you to know demography and structure of the population of Taiwan in Eastern Asia. The Taiwan density map is downloadable in PDF, printable and free.

The population in Taiwan was estimated in June 2009 at 23,063,027 spread across a total land area of 35,980 km², making it the fifteenth most densely populated country in the world with a population density of 635 people per km² as you can see in Taiwan population density map. According to official governmental statistics, 98% of Taiwan population is made up of Han Chinese, while 2% are Taiwanese aborigines. Half the population are followers of one or a mixture of 25 recognized religions. Around 93% of the religious population are followers of a mixture of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, while a minority 4.5% are followers of Christianity. Taiwan is suffering from a decline in birth rates with a population growth of just 0.23% and a fertility rate of 1.12 children (below the 2.1 births average needed to replace the existing population) for the year 2007.

Taiwan experienced rapid population growth in the 1950s and 60s, but alongside with economic development, growth rates decreased significantly as its shown in Taiwan population density map. Falling birth figures have also been attributed to Taiwan family planning policy, which was aimed at keeping population growth at check. This led to a situation on the island where overall population density was very high and still growing, while the total fertility rate dropped quickly and eventually reached extremely low levels compared internationally. In the 21st century, the challenges of a quickly aging society became more and more apparent and the government initiated family friendly and birth promoting policies. However, fertility still kept on decreasing and reached a historical low in 2010 at 0.9 births per woman on average, and only in recent years has the number of births increased slightly.

Today Taiwan, like many East Asian societies, faces the challenges of a rapidly aging population. While the share of the population aged 65 and older accounted to 16 percent in 2020, it is projected to reach 40 percent in 2060. Taiwan (Republic of China) population density is 660.2 people per square kilometer (1,709.8/mi2) as of June 2022 as its mentioned in Taiwan population density map. The old-age dependency ratio, which denotes the relation of people of 65 years and above to the working-age population, is expected to reach around 78 percent in those years. This puts heavy pressure on the working people and the economy as a whole. However, compared to mainland China, which is in a very much comparable demographic situation, Taiwan enjoys the advantage of a relatively wealthy society, which helps to curb the negative economic effects of an aging population.
