21-504: Monday Creek rises north of Shawnee in southern Perry County , and flows generally southwardly through northeastern Hocking County and northwestern Athens County , passing through the eastern part of Nelsonville to its confluence with the Hocking River about 2 miles (3.2 km) southeast of that city. Its largest tributaries are Little Monday Creek , 14.3 miles (23.0 km) long, which flows through Perry and Hocking Counties, and

42-617: A suite of (open and free) data and tools named the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) to improve the science for policy support to 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

63-448: 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 the scientist who identified it. Examples of the causes of reduced fertility in low population densities are: Population density is

84-445: 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 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

105-763: 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

126-660: The Ohio Company purchased all the land in the watershed in two installments in 1787 and 1792. The aggressive pursuit of natural resources, including coal, timber, salt, iron, and clay took its toll on the watershed from the mid-19th century until well into the 20th century. Iron production in the area aided the North during the Civil War . As much as 89% of the Monday Creek watershed was deforested by 1885, with replanting beginning with

147-591: The Snow Fork , 10.7 miles (17.2 km) long, which rises in Perry County and flows through Hocking and Athens Counties, through the communities of Murray City and Buchtel . As of 1994, land use in the Monday Creek watershed was occupied this way: The Wayne National Forest owns 38% of land in the watershed; the largest private landowner is the Sunday Creek Mining Company. The Adena , who lived in

There were 207 households, out of which 44.0% had children under

It is 9 miles (14 km) south of the county seat of New Lexington . Shawnee had its start in 1872 when the railroad was extended to that point. The village was named after the Shawnee Indians . A post office has been in operation at Shawnee since 1872. According to

For every 100 females there were 98.7 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 102.9 males. The median income for a household in the village was $ 33,229, and the median income for a family was $ 37,188. Males had a median income of $ 30,833 versus $ 20,833 for females. The per capita income for

273-547: 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)

294-474: The establishment of the Wayne National Forest in 1935. Salt mining occurred in the watershed in the 19th century; clay brick production peaked in the early 20th century; oil and natural gas production began in 1909. The earliest coal mines in the watershed can be traced to the 1860s. Early mines were underground , a practice which was in sharp decline by the 1920s and had ended completely in

315-506: 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 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,

336-469: The region around 1000 BC, were the earliest known inhabitants of the Monday Creek area. Later native people of the region included the Lenape , Shawnee and Wyandot . According to legend, early European explorers of the region named the stream for the day on which it was discovered. The previous day the explorers had similarly named nearby Sunday Creek . The earliest white settlements in the area date to 1774;

357-426: The village was $ 11,850. About 14.7% of families and 15.6% of the population were below the poverty line , including 27.4% of those under age 18 and 4.9% of those age 65 or over. Population density Population density (in agriculture : standing stock or plant density ) is a measurement of population per unit land area. It is mostly applied to humans , but sometimes to other living organisms too. It

399-747: The watershed by 1991. Surface mining was begun post- World War II and declined in the 1970s. Coal in the watershed is primarily of the Middle Kittaning #6 variety, which is high in sulfur and has been identified by the Ohio EPA as having a high potential for pollution. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has identified Monday Creek as having been "irretrievably altered to the extent that no appreciable aquatic life can be supported" due to severe contamination by acid mine drainage . The Monday Creek Restoration Project, sponsored by Rural Action , has been working since 1994 to address water quality issues in

420-595: 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 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
