Place profile
Area, population and population density of Phuket Province, with reference dates, geographic scope, official sources and an outline preview.

Reference date:
Calculated from the population and area above; their reference dates may differ.
The closest rung on the Taiwan reference ladder; see the sources below.
The inverse of population density, from the same area and population figures.
Area and registered population both cover Phuket Province, not only Phuket Island. The province includes the main island and smaller surrounding islands; the provincial outline is used so the displayed density remains internally aligned.
Average administrative density does not describe population distribution in every neighborhood. Compare population definitions and reference dates alongside the numbers.
Place guide
Phuket is stored as a province because that is the official boundary shared by its area, population and map geometry.
Phuket Province is centred on Phuket Island and includes smaller surrounding islands. The label prevents an administrative total from being mistaken for an island-only figure.
Use the province for population and density questions, and a separate physical-island dataset if a future feature needs coastline-only geometry.
Travelers often say Phuket when they mean the broad destination. The provincial unit answers that broad question while keeping the statistical denominator defensible.
It does not reveal where residents or resorts cluster inside the province.
