2 and 13 million seems like a pretty wide margin of error

Yeah, I assumed that would be it too, but I checked and for reasons I'm not highly educated enough to understand, the Latin plural of "census" is "census" (unless its in the genitive case, in which case the plural is "censuum", which seems pretty rad but not strictly relevant to this usage) and thus in English the rarely used "proper" plural is too. Maybe it wasn't originally considered a countable noun? That'd be kind of ironic.

In the fourth declension nominative cases are the same for singular and plural. But which words are 4th declension and how can you tell? If I knew I might have scored better on my AP Latin exam 16 years ago.

It isn't countable because Latin borrowed it from Japanese

When comes to something this mass, its hard to pin down exact numbers unless there is concentration camp level book keeping.
For example, the Silent Holocaust in the 80's has a range of 32,000-166,000
And the Rwandan Genocide has a 491,000-800,000 est and that was in the 90s

Check out the discrepancies around with Eastern Front in WW2, almost like various groups give their own estimates based on their agendas
