Not Entertainment

The more I look at the Wiki data, the more I think it is projected from prior years.

Almost all population data is either census, or projections from a census. Is there any particular reason not to trust them, in a way that is relevant to our results?

(Edit: Ah! You're talking about the Dutch murder rate! No, that's not projected, though I don't know the wiki's source. But my calculated rate of 0.95 isn't from there - it's your own number of 157 murders divided by the population. Don't like that number? Maybe try these - they're about the same, 164 in 2007 and 159 in 2006, coincidentally yielding a rate of almost exactly 1/100k.)

(Your link gives me "Pagina niet gevonden." I don't have any Dutch, but I think I can figure that one out. My link is to the same site.)

So, how do we trust the unusually low numbers reported past 2006.

By what reasoning are they "unusually low"?
