Retrieving Windows device's DPI

Is there an API in the UWP to retrieve the device dpi? In Android there is the getDisplayMetrics().density; method. Is there an equivalent in UWP?

It looks like I'm looking for RawDPI or perhaps ScaleFactor that used to be available on the phone.

Adding sample how to get the DisplayInformation in C++/winrt

#include "winrt/Windows.Graphics.Display.h"

auto displayInfo = Windows::Graphics::Display::DisplayInformation::GetForCurrentView();

in Addition to correct answer. There is even more than that you can get actual screen size using. 

 DisplayInformation.GetForCurrentView().DiagonalSizeInInches;

Found it here after a bit of digging:

Windows.Graphics.Display.DisplayInformation

Lots of good stuff available include raw dpi and scale factor.
