Comment on Show HN: I built an interactive map and search engine for US Census dataparent

Uhuh. So when I query for "counties with highest population density", that specifies both the table and the geographical unit. (But currently that gives "B26001_001E: Group Quarters Population (Population in group quarters): Total")

I just made an update which should enable "population density" type queries to work a bit better - there is now an option to divide by 'LAND_AREA' for any variable (though this should probably be limited a bit), and this option will be automatically selected for queries including 'density' or a few related strings e.g. 'per sq. mile'
