To compare the population density of Hawaii with that of the village in France, I calculated Hawaii's population density by dividing its population, 1,440,196 people, by its area of 10,931 square miles. This gives Hawaii a population density of about 131.2 people per square mile, significantly higher than the village in France, which has a density of 10.19 people per square mile. Therefore, Hawaii is much more densely populated than the village in France.
