What is People Per Square Foot?

People Per Square Foot (PSF) is a metric used to determine the density of people in a given area. It is calculated by dividing the total number of people by the total square footage of the area. This metric is often used in event planning, building design, and space management to ensure safety and comfort.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ PSF = \frac{100}{2000} = 0.05 \text{ people/ft²} \]

The people per square foot is 0.05 people/ft².

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ PSF = \frac{250}{5000} = 0.05 \text{ people/ft²} \]

The people per square foot is 0.05 people/ft².
