Only characters with unique names are included here.
The Elder race is not strictly a race in terms of lore, but is considered a different race by the game. Likely, the majority of these can be considered to be Nords, but this is speculative and cannot always be confirmed.
People that appear only during certain quests were not counted.
People were counted for the place they first appear in game (unless it is during Unbound).
Either Hadvar or Ralof will appear in Riverwood, depending on your choice during Unbound. As they both are Nords they were counted as one person for this data.
