The England Office for National Statsitics has reported that Malta is by far the most densely populated of the 27 EU member states, with 1,274 people per square kilometre.
It is followed by England and the Netherlands, with population densities of 395 and 393 persons per square kilometer, respectively.
The ONS said the projected population density of the whole of the UK in 2008 had been 253 persons per square kilometer. The additional population growth that England has seen is attributed to a surge in immigration over the last 10 years, with the resident population swelling to 60,975,000 in mid-2007.
The ONS estimates that England's population density will rise to 464 people per square kilometre by 2031.
