Statistics count the spelling “Munro” as recorded by the publisher. When a spelling has several independent origins, the counts are not split between them. Counts measure births. Gaps are years without a published value, not zeros.
Rates per million use the matching published total for this region, recorded category and year; years without a compatible denominator remain gaps.
