This illustration, created by Terence Teo, represents the population density of the Dominican Republic 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 the Dominican Republic quickly shows that the highest population density is found around the capital, Santo Domingo, and in other cities such as Higüey, Puerto Plata, Santiago de los Caballeros, San Pedro de Macorís, La Romana, and Samana.
