For demographers, the constant (k) in crude vital rates is usually 1,000; that is, rates are expressed per 1,000 population. Related to greater interest in cause-of-death breakdowns and the smaller numbers implied, epidemiologists differ from demographers in typically expressing crude death rates per 100,000 population.
