Social Sciences - Anthropology / Statistical Terms | | Chinese term or phrase: 居住密度 | Hello,
I'm wondering what the technical term for this is. Would it be something like residential density? The context is:
3平方米，这应该是正常的居住密度.
Thanks in advance! |

From the context, seems the "居住密度" should be "人均居住面积" in the Chinese sentence. But if you want to be loyal to source text, I think "residential density" is also right. |

| Grading comment I think this one is best for the situation b/c I have 人均居住面积 earlier in the same sentence, and I translated that as "residential area per capita," so I need to differentiate using the 密度. Thanks everyone!
