11. Why is the population distributed like this?

12. Why is the population distributed like this?
These statistical data mostly confirm the results from the stable night lights maps. They also indicate that Europe’s population is highly concentrated along the coastlines and in a corridor reaching from the Southern and Central parts of the United Kingdome to the Netherlands, Belgium down the Rhine valley and to northern Italy (see the red areas). There are very large rural areas of thinly populated space in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Ireland, Greece Central France and Central Spain. Low population density can be also found in North-eastern Germany and in most of the Baltic States. This very uneven population distribution is a reason for great concern, especially among the Nordic countries.
