This template uses Lua:

Module:Pop density (sandbox)

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"
