How these numbers are made. Nobody counts people in real time.
Each figure is recomputed every frame from a World Bank anchor and rate:
pop(now) = 6,009,169 + 0.0001/s × elapsed since 1 Jul 2025
births/day = 156 (crude birth rate 9.50/1,000, 2024)
deaths/day = 156 (crude death rate 9.50/1,000, 2024)
Births and deaths are estimates for a hypothetical average day; they do not reflect
seasonality, and the migration figure is a 5-year average. World Bank's separately
published growth rate is 0.54%/yr; the rate shown above is derived
from the components so it always agrees with the counter. Full method →
