Being pedantic, but yes it is. (I investigated as I found your statement surprising). That table is sorted by rounded value, which means the six countries whose density rounds to 4 are in more or less random order relative to each other, and also several entries near the bottom are not actual countries. Canada is the 8th least dense actual country there, counting Western Sahara. Here are the densities based on the population and area numbers in that table (reordered): Mauritania: 4.272157756864267
Botswana: 3.8729690721649486
Libya: 3.7956278345476657
Canada: 3.712146921230246
Guyana: 3.6238062232228834
Suriname: 3.5159931632279333
*French Guiana (France): 3.387099863528623
Iceland: 3.2690582524271843
Australia: 3.2368791361025395
Namibia: 2.9702730179990002
Western Sahara [note 10]: 2.13309022556391
Mongolia: 2.0268419989310256
*Falkland Islands (UKOT): 0.2656699252443933
*Svalbard and Jan Mayen (Norway): 0.04253308128544423
*Greenland (Denmark): 0.026113459945726992
