Show me your calculations and maybe I'll believe you, but as for me, I have already crunched some numbers fo the student body only. I assessed the canon student casualties to total students ratio, which turned out to be for every dead student there were three that survived. This means there was a 75% survivability / 25% mortality rate for the Battle of Beacon.

There were Teams that were completely wiped out, so that means that not all Teams were left without a member, like Team JNPR.

Now, pair this information with the fact that we know that there were eight Finalists; Pyrrha, Penny, Yang, Sun, Mercury and three unnamed Finalists. This would lead to 32 Teams of four. Ending up with a final sum of 128 students who participated, not necessarily all of the students from all four Kingdoms.

Of course, the 75% survival rate can be used to find out the total number of students who died or studied at Beacon if we ever get a solid, canon, number for either value.

Back to the point, if you multiply 128 * 75% you will get a total of 96 survivors and 32 student deaths.

Theoretically, we can apply the same values to the population at large, but remember, these were students at an academy to become warriors, that's why the survivability rate is so high at 75%. The civilian mortality rate is probably much higher, while the Huntsman and Teacher survivability rates are much higher, with only Ozpin dying to our knowledge.

Thanks for coming to my tedTalk today, thanks!
