Abstract: The term ‘density of dwellings' used by geographers is conceptually different to the term ‘probability density of dwellings' used by statisticians. In Cartesian coordinates the numerical values only differ by a scaling constant, but in polar coordinates this is not the case. To help clear up the resulting confusion, this paper attempts to show the relation between the two concepts.
