Abstract
Description
Everyone is aware of space and place, of change over time and since everything exists in space and time,
population is not an exception. This paper examines the influences of time on population growth and space. The study
adopts both descriptive and quantitative statics and relied on secondary data source as a major means of data collection. The
findings reveal that there is positive relationship between population growth and time and population density varies from
area to area within the state. The practical implication of this study is that it provides an answer to whether population varies
over time and space. Over the years Ondo state has witnessed increase in population. The implication of this increase in
population in relation to space is overpopulation resulting to congestion in areas that are densely populated.
