Dwellings Per Hectare Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Dwellings Per Hectare (D/H) is:

\[ \frac{D}{H} = \frac{TD}{LA} \]

Where:

Dwellings Per Hectare (D/H): A measure used in urban planning to assess the density of housing in a given area.
Total Number of Dwellings (TD): The total number of residential units.
Land Area (LA): The area of land in hectares.
Significance: Helps in understanding land utilization for residential purposes, influencing zoning, infrastructure, and services.

Let's say the total number of dwellings (TD) is 100 and the land area (LA) is 2 hectares. Using the formula:

\[ \frac{D}{H} = \frac{100}{2} = 50 \]

So, the Dwellings Per Hectare (D/H) is 50.
