Current record value
Monaco is a small Mediterranean sovereign city-state with a densely developed urban area.
Non-sovereign territories such as Macao may have higher figures in the same data, but are excluded from this comparison.
The ranking uses the World Bank's land-area density indicator among sovereign states, not lists that combine dependent territories or compare total area rather than land area.
The record conclusion has sufficient verification support.
Basis: comparison of consistent primary data
World Bank indicator EN.POP.DNST reports about 18,537 people per square kilometre for Monaco in 2024, while Macao SAR is higher but excluded as non-sovereign. The comparison uses land area and may change with data revisions.
