What areas of Russia are sparsely populated?

Posted in geography lesson |

I am a chemistry teacher helping a student in my school with her geography lesson on Russia. I know Siberia is very sparsely populated but I don’t know anything else. Can you help, or tell me where I can find the information? Thanks.

Have a look at this page. It’s in russian, but there’s a map of population density. The scale is in people per square kilometer. You can see that as you head north and east, the population falls off, with all of the more populous areas of siberia being in the south.

    Siberia (which is 2/3 of Russia and the Northern Parts), the population density is very low considering there are 140M people and it is the largest country by area in the world.
