The population density in a country is often times more relevant to the way its residents live than the total population. For example, China has the biggest population, but China is also quite big, so it is not at the top of the list for population density too.
When traveling, population density might be something that you will actually notice only in the more extreme cases. Big cities might be really crowded, and it might also have to do with the population density, but it might also be just due to a high number of tourists, if you’re going during peak season. In turn, if you’re traveling to a more secluded place, maybe up in the mountains, you will most likely see less people.
