Template:Pop density

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This template converts a population and area to a density.

{{Pop density|number of people|numerical value of area|unit of area|area unit to convert to}}

Examples

• {{Pop density|120|240|km2|sqmi}} → "0.500/km² (1.29/sq mi)"
• {{Pop density|1600|600|sqmi|km2}} → "2.67/sq mi (1.03/km²)"

rounding

• {{Pop density|120|240|km2|sqmi|prec=1}} → "0.5/km² (1.3/sq mi)"

no conversion

• {{Pop density|120|240|km2}} → "0.500/km²"

reverse outputs

• {{Pop density|1600|600|sqmi|km2|flip=on}} → "1.03/km² (2.67/sq mi)"

give only raw numerical output

• {{Pop density|120|240|km2|disp=num}} → "0.500"
• {{Pop density|1600|600|sqmi|disp=num}} → "2.67"
• {{Pop density|120|240|km2|sqmi|disp=num}} → "1.29"
• {{Pop density|1600|600|sqmi|km2|disp=num}} → "1.03"
