Population density
CensusInfo Aruba Ways to further improve CensusInfo? Import data sets created by other software programs should be made more easy Templates: make templates based on the P & R Enable the creation of whole IUS series. Add census specific facilities: e.g. population pyramid, automatic calculation of indicators (population density, sex rations, dependency ratios etc..) Add help functions and make some functions more user friendly, e.g. ‘Undo’.
