THEORY:
Population is total no. of people living in a particular area at particular time.
Population distribution means the pattern where people live. World population distribution is uneven. Places which are sparsely populated contain few populations and places which are densely populated contain many people.
The arrangement of people living in a given area, also has the population of an area is arranged according to variables such as age,sex,race etc.is called distribution of population.
The number of municipalities is increasing nowadays. People are migrating from rural to urban areas or municipality areas nowadays.
The population of urban areas is increasing rapidly in comparison to rural areas. It shows that the people are migrating towards urban areas.
Data:
| Census data | Urban centre | Urban population number | Urban population % | Rural population number | Rural population % | Total |

| 1971 | 16 | 461938 | 4.0 | 11094054 | 96.0 | 11555983 |

RESULT AND DISCUSSION:
From the data and graph we know that the population of rural areas is more in comparison to urban areas of Nepal. THis is because Nepal is a developing country.
But nowadays , people are migrating from rural to urban areas. In urban areas we find well developed facilities like transportation, hospitals etc.
CONCLUSION:
Hence, the human population density in urban rural areas was analyzed by using census.
