22-579: As part of the Downriver Linked Greenways trail system, a 3-mile segment of the trail runs through the park, with one branch of the trail terminating at Lee Road on the south end of the park, with the trail leaving the park at South Gibraltar Road on the north end. From here, one branch of the trail continues north through Gibraltar and Trenton , while a separate one continues to the north and west through Rockwood and Flat Rock , as well as Oakwoods , Willow , and Lower Huron Metroparks . Within

44-593: A number of smaller waterways surround the park. Lake Erie Metropark is located in Brownstown Charter Township, Michigan . It lies south of Gibraltar, Michigan and numerous other downriver communities, and across the Trenton Channel to the southwest of Grosse Ile . To the west are the communities of South Rockwood , Rockwood , and Flat Rock , and on the opposite side of the mouth of the Huron River

66-499: A village in 1954 and gained autonomy when it became a city in 1961. According to the United States Census Bureau , the city has a total area of 4.41 square miles (11.42 km ), of which 3.78 square miles (9.79 km ) is land and 0.63 square miles (1.63 km ) (14.29%) is water. As of the census of 2010, there were 4,656 people, 1,946 households, and 1,283 families living in the city. The population density

88-499: Is 53/km (140/sq mi). This includes all continental and island land area, including Antarctica . However, if Antarctica is excluded, then population density rises to over 58 per square kilometre (150/sq mi). The European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) has developed a suite of (open and free) data and tools named the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) to improve the science for policy support to

110-450: Is a measurement of population per unit land area. It is mostly applied to humans , but sometimes to other living organisms too. It is a key geographical term. Population density is population divided by total land area , sometimes including seas and oceans, as appropriate. Low densities may cause an extinction vortex and further reduce fertility. This is called the Allee effect after

132-499: Is around 8,000,000,000 and the Earth 's total area (including land and water) is 510,000,000 km (200,000,000 sq mi). Therefore, the worldwide human population density is approximately 8,000,000,000 ÷ 510,000,000 = 16/km (41/sq mi). However, if only the Earth's land area of 150,000,000 km (58,000,000 sq mi) is taken into account, then human population density

Three other parks in the Huron-Clinton Metroparks system ( Oakwoods , Willow , and Lower Huron Metroparks ) are located to the northwest. Together, the four parks are connected by bike trails through the Downriver Linked Greenways system. Gibraltar, Michigan Gibraltar is a city in Wayne County in

176-631: The European Commission Directorate Generals and Services and as support to the United Nations system. Several of the most densely populated territories in the world are city-states , microstates and urban dependencies . In fact, 95% of the world's population is concentrated on just 10% of the world's land. These territories have a relatively small area and a high urbanization level, with an economically specialized city population drawing also on rural resources outside

198-505: The Gibralter & Flat Rock Company. The community received its first post office under the name "Gibralter" on October 2, 1837. The post office was renamed to Woodbury on December 8, 1838, but renamed back to Gibralter on May 13, 1839. The spelling was changed to "Gibraltar" on December 19, 1900, until it was discontinued entirely on January 31, 1910. The community of Gibraltar was originally part of Brownstown Township . It incorporated as

220-526: The Lake Erie coast. The park offers several different options for launching large and small crafts. On the south side of the park is the Lake Erie Metropark Marina, located at the end of Lee Road, which serves primarily larger boats. On the opposite side of the park near the nature trails, a boat ramp serves smaller boats and includes spaces to launch canoes and kayaks. In addition to Lake Erie ,

The city is bordered by the Detroit River to the east, the city of Trenton to the north, and the township of Brownstown to the south and west. Gibraltar was first settled as early as 1811 and later platted on March 14, 1837, by trustees of

The per capita income for

330-988: The area, illustrating the difference between high population density and overpopulation . Deserts have very limited potential for growing crops as there is not enough rain to support them. Thus, their population density is generally low. However, some cities in the Middle East, such as Dubai , have been increasing in population and infrastructure growth at a fast pace. Cities with high population densities are, by some, considered to be overpopulated, though this will depend on factors like quality of housing and infrastructure and access to resources. Very densely populated cities are mostly in Asia (particularly Southeast Asia ); Africa's Lagos , Kinshasa , and Cairo ; South America's Bogotá , Lima , and São Paulo ; and Mexico City and Saint Petersburg also fall into this category. City population and especially area are, however, heavily dependent on

352-641: The city was $ 28,528. About 1.9% of families and 2.7% of the population were below the poverty line , including 1.3% of those under age 18 and 3.2% of those age 65 or over. Public education is provided by the Gibraltar School District , serving all of Gibraltar, all of Rockwood, portions of Woodhaven, and portions of Brownstown Township. The school district operates these schools in Gibraltar: Population density Population density (in agriculture : standing stock or plant density )

396-547: The definition of "urban area" used: densities are almost invariably higher for the center only than when suburban settlements and intervening rural areas are included, as in the agglomeration or metropolitan area (the latter sometimes including neighboring cities). In comparison, based on a world population of 8 billion, the world's inhabitants, if conceptualized as a loose crowd occupying just under 1 m (10 sq ft) per person (cf. Jacobs Method ), would occupy an area of 8,000 square kilometres (3,100 sq mi)

418-471: The park, a 3/4-mile trail extends north from the wave pool towards the Marshlands Museum and Nature Center. The park also contains approximately 2.75 miles of nature trails in the northeast portion along Lake Erie. One pathway runs in a loop primarily through forests and alongside marsh and canals, while a second path begins down a boardwalk through marshes, transitioning into scattered wooded areas along

440-443: The scientist who identified it. Examples of the causes of reduced fertility in low population densities are: Population density is the number of people per unit of area, usually transcribed as "per square kilometer" or square mile, and which may include or exclude, for example, areas of water or glaciers. Commonly this is calculated for a county , city , country , another territory or the entire world . The world's population
