This illustration, created by Terence Teo, represents Panama's population density on a three-dimensional map. To do this, Terence extracted the data available at Kontur Population with which it generates columns using a programme, with a height that represents the population density at each point.

This map of Panama quickly shows that the highest population density is found around the capital, Panama City, and in other areas along the Panama Canal, such as the city of Colón. The coastline along the Pacific Ocean, in the south of the country, has a higher density, as is the case in David, in the west of the country.
