According to the Primary Census Abstract 2011, Bihar has a population density of 1,106 people per sq km, while West Bengal is in second place with 1,028. (Bihar has thus also displaced the latter for the top spot, as its density in 2001 was 881, second to West Bengal’s 903). This makes both the States more populous than even a sizeable country such as neighbouring Bangladesh (964). India’s population density is 382.
