The current Population Map of the Russian Federation is based on the results of the 2021 All-Russian Population Census. The map is presented on a review scale using the method of isolines that depict the population density of the territories. It takes into account data on the population size and location of all settlements in the country. These data are characterized by their discontinuous distribution in space, so the population density of the calculated areas is averaged using the “sliding window” method. To separate the methods of graphical display of cartographic information, the application of a threshold value of the population density of settlements in the amount of 20,000 inhabitants is substantiated. This threshold takes into account the statistical distribution of the country's settlements based on their population size. The map obtained is compared with a known previously developed analogue. The study findings show the change in the situation with the observed forms of settlement that are characteristic of some territories in the Russian North.
