Displayed Population Density =/= Population Density for Formulas

Right now, the "population density" displayed on a city page is calculated from the total population.  Total population / Land

However, the formula for disease uses "population density" that is calculated based on base population (infra x 100).

This is unnecessarily confusing for players trying to figure out how the disease formula is calculated.

Where are you seeing the error? I agree that where it says "population density" in the disease formula it would read "infrastructure * 100 / land" but I don't know where you're looking at this to fix it. If it's on the wiki, you should be able to just edit the page and fix it yourself.

On the display page for each city.  https://politicsandwar.com/city/id=90014

The explanation offered on the city formulas wiki page...

Quote

The formula used for population density when factoring Disease is different than the actual population density. The reason for this, is that Disease (based on Population Density) will kill a percentage of the Base Population, lowering the displayed Population Density. If there was no difference, the formula would feed back on each other.
