population figures
Census result numbers
Population figures are statistical counts of how many people live in a given area—a city, country, or region.
The term appears in discussions of demographics, urban planning, and resource allocation: The latest population figures show the city has grown by 12 percent.
Official population figures typically come from government censuses conducted at regular intervals.
