Density of Atmospheres

Does anyone have any good data on the atmospheric density curves? I found a thread from 2012 that suggested that Kerbin's atmosphere followed a curve with the same scale factor as pressure, that is:

p=p0 * exp(-h/5000)

Where p0 is density at 0m.  I assume it is 1.22 kg/m3 as IRL, but I could be wrong.  Is this equation still accurate?

While the wiki has scale curves for the atmospheric bodies, it doesn't give surface density.  Does anyone have surface densities for those bodies?
