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) = 123,366,734 − 0.0288/s × elapsed since 1 Jul 2025
births/day = 1,925 (crude birth rate 5.70/1,000, 2024)
deaths/day = 4,492 (crude death rate 13.30/1,000, 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 -0.49%/yr; the rate shown above is derived
from the components so it always agrees with the counter. Full method →
