Population distribution and their spatio-temporal variation are a direct representation of urbanization in China. This study evaluates the population density variation during 2000-2010 of all Chinese sub-districts by using the fifth and sixth population censuses of China. The urbanization patterns in 2000 and 2010 are depicted respectively based on the various levels of population density. The urbanization process of China during 2000-2010 is then analyzed via comparing the patterns in 2000 and 2010. This paper identifies the population redistribution dynamics and urbanization pattern variation of China at the sub-district level.
