In 2021, as it was in 2010, the Greater Accra region of Ghana was the most dense in terms of number of inhabitants per square kilometer. Rural-urban migration is one of the main reasons accounting for the high population density (around 1.2 thousand inhabitants per square kilometer) in this region. In the said year, the Greater Accra region hosted 5.4 million inhabitants.
