The following is a list of islands, sorted by population density, and including islands that are connected to other land masses by a route other than sea or air, such as a bridge or a tunnel.
Most densely populated islands (over 1,000 people per km2)
Accurate density estimates for the very small islands (< 1 km2) are hard to obtain because population as well as landmass are often only estimates. Additionally, the populations of these islands are often highly transient, with many residents also maintaining a residence on a larger landmass and only living on the island seasonally.
Densely populated archipelagos
These archipelagos have a density of over 1,000 people per km2, meaning at least one island must have over 1,000 people per km2. However, there is no available data for the individual islands.
