To determine which location is more densely populated, we first calculate the population density of Hawaii by dividing its population (1,440,196 people) by its area (10,931 square miles), which gives approximately 131.1 people per square mile. Since Hawaii's population density (about 131.1 people per square mile) is significantly higher than the village in France (10.19 people per square mile), Hawaii is more densely populated.
