 A count of simulated or physical individuals in a population.

Population count

Population Count

A population mortality dataset that compares deaths in the population during one time interval to deaths in the population during a previous time interval and reports an estimate of how many more or less deaths occurred in the later time interval.

excess mortality dataset

Excess Mortality
