- jncfhnb 3y agoReplacement rate is commonly understood to be slightly above 2 to account for chance of death
- smitty1e 3y agoSure, but fractional people don't exist, so the wife and I have hit the replacement rate to the nearest whole person, i.e. 2. But you are quite correct, and my usage was loosey-goosey in this context.
