It depends greatly on when you take the census! If you took it after the war of the ring, you'd have about 1,000,000 less orcs in your census. There's a big drop there!
Here's a thought, what would be the census of Lindon. That's a question...and a small number!
And don't forget Fangorn! Ents, perky or not, have a say in a census also! Not to mention the ents in buckland...
