Template:UK subdivision density

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

This is a group of templates that provide an easy method to link to population, land area and density statistics for the following UK subdivisions:

• UK nations and regions
• English districts (including unitary authorities, non-metropolitan districts, metropolitan districts and sui generis councils)
• English non-metropolitan and metropolitan counties
• Scottish council areas
• Welsh unitary authorities
• Northern Ireland districts

Subdivisions are identified by passing a GSS code as a parameter.

This template does not work for English ceremonial counties, Welsh preserved counties or Scottish lieutenancy areas, which do not have GSS codes. For English ceremonial counties use Template:English cerem counties.

Templates

General templates

• {{UK subdivision population}} – gives the population for a subdivision
• {{UK subdivision density}} – gives the subdivision's population density (per square kilometre)

Reference templates

• {{UK subdivision statistics year}} – gives the year to which the estimate applies (not the year it was generated)
• {{UK subdivision statistics citation}} – gives a citation for the source of population data

Rank templates

English district ranks

• {{English district density rank}} – gives the district's position in a list ordered by population density (greatest first)
• {{English district area rank}} – gives the district's position in a list ordered by land area (largest first).

English admin county ranks

Usage

• {{UK subdivision population|GSS= }}

One required parameter: the GSS code for the subdivision

• {{UK subdivision density|GSS= }}

One required parameter: the GSS code for the subdivision

• {{UK subdivision area|GSS= }}

One required parameter: the GSS code for the subdivision

Optionally, a second parameter, 'RND=2', may be provided to generate an area figure to two decimal places. This is useful when adding multiple area figures together in order to get an accurate total. The total figure can then itself be rounded. Note that '2' is the only figure which 'RND' will accept, otherwise it will default to a rounded figure.
