A rate is a measure of some event, disease, or condition in relation to a unit of population, along with some specification of time. Rates provide a standardized means of comparing the prevalence of an indicator over time and across different geographical areas (e.g., counties, states). Therefore, rates provide an excellent way to measure progress towards meeting goals and standards. To compute a rate, first divide the number of occurrences (the numerator) by the total population who could experience the occurrence (the denominator), then multiply by a standardizing multiplier. Indicators in this data book utilize the following multipliers: 1,000; 10,000; or 100,000 and are reported as per 1,000; per 10,000; and per 100,000, respectively. However, rates calculated in this manner are called crude rates and have not taken into consideration possible differences in population characteristics necessary for comparisons.

A less scientific term for frequency. (Most dictionary definitions of rate have to do with something other than count per unit of time; conversely, most dictionary definitions of frequency do pertain to the "oftenness" of an event or movement. Frequency represents the word of choice in the natural sciences for measurement of any count per unit of time.) See Frequency.

A rate is an estimate of the burden of a given disease in a defined population in a specified period of time. A crude rate is calculated by dividing the number of cases (events) by the population at risk during a given time period. Cancer incidence and mortality rates are usually presented per 100,000 population during a given period.
a quotient used to compare two measures in different units e.g. kilometres per hour.
Expresses how frequently something (such as a cancer) occurs in a given population (such as the UK) over a given period of time (usually a year). For example, the UK has a population of about 60 million and each year in the UK about 270,000 people are diagnosed with cancer. To get the rate, the number of people diagnosed each year (270,000) is divided by the size of the population (60 million) and multiplied by 100,000. This gives us a crude rate of around 450 cancers per 100,000 population.

The per unit cost of insurance. (See also Premium).
A measure of the frequency of an event (e.g. births, deaths, migration) in a given population over a specified period of time. Rates are usually expressed per 1,000, 10,000 or 100,000 population, depending on the frequency of event under study, to avoid small decimal numbers. For instance, if 12 people out of a population of 1,600 die in a year the rate is 0.0075 per person, but to make the rate more readily understandable this would normally be expressed as 7.5 per 1,000. Sometimes the term rate is also used more loosely to refer to the ratio between a subpopulation and the total; for example, the unemployment rate – i.e. the number of unemployed persons relative to the total labour force.

For example, consider a time base that operates in a time coordinate system that has a time scale of 60. If that time base has a rate of 1, 60 time units are processed per second. If the rate is set to 1/2, 30 time units pass per second. If the rate is 2, 120 time units pass per second See also: sample rate, speech rate
The price for $100 or $1,000 of insurance, usually for one year, expressed in dollars and cents. Alternatively, the rate is the premium for a specified amount of insurance, for a specified time.
