The only possibilities you have are:
Type cast the
doubleinto anintif you want to store your number as an integer:int a = (int)26.4 // so a will be 26(you will obviously lose precision this way)
Store the number as a
doubleto keep the precision:double a = 26.4

Store the number as a
doubleto keep the precision:double a = 26.4
Casting will not help at anything, look at the code below:
//int a = 26.4; // gives compile error
int a = (int) 26.4; // gives 26
double b = a; // gives 26.0
double c = (double) a; // also gives 26.0
I need help converting int to double

[Java] Possible lossy conversion from double to int error.
If you want to explicitly tell the compiler that you want to convert the numbers to integers, you should cast them as such. Example: int x = (int)(10.0/2.0) will make x have a value of 5.
Do note, however, that in the case of int birthrate, the operation 1.0/7.0 will simply be 0 when cast to an int.

is there a possibility that casting a double created via
Math.round()will still result in a truncated down number
No, round() will always round your double to the correct value, and then, it will be cast to an long which will truncate any decimal places. But after rounding, there will not be any fractional parts remaining.
Here are the docs from Math.round(double):
Returns the closest long to the argument. The result is rounded to an integer by adding 1/2, taking the floor of the result, and casting the result to type long. In other words, the result is equal to the value of the expression:
(long)Math.floor(a + 0.5d)
For the datatype Double to int, you can use the following:
Double double = 5.00;
int integer = double.intValue();
This truncates (floors), and does not round. Use at your own risk.
