On the list you linked Netherlands is ranked 8th out of 54 countries. I wouldn't call that "average". Besides, the first seven countries on that list are small.

On the list you linked Netherlands is ranked 8th out of 54 countries. I wouldn't call that "average". Besides, the first seven countries on that list are small. Four are microstates and the other three are British dependencies.
I'd say, for it's size, Netherlands is densely populated.
- krzyk 11y agoYes, you are right. Sorry I once again mistaken Dutch people as the ones living in Denmark. Now it makes much more sense, once again sorry for confusion.
- jacquesm 11y agoIt's actually a bit different than what you'd get from that table. NL (like most countries) has varying population density. What's not obvious is that NL has a crazy distribution where we have a large chunk (the 'Randstad') that contains a very large portion of the population and a relatively much larger area that is just about empty. So depending on where you are you can travel for 150 Km and never leave the built-up areas or you can travel for 150 Km and you'll see nothing but grass, cows, the occasional farm and the highway you're on (A6/A7).
