Food for thought
Is the thought that the population density of Homs is 2/5 that of OKC, or simply that you're innumerate?

Eat hearty, friends.

Homs is 40 square miles The population of that 40 square mile area is actually closer to 750,000. The previously reported ~650,000 is just city limits which is only 19 square miles itself.

~750,000/40 mi^2= 18,750/mi^2
