Forgotten Realms Nerds: How many mindflayers...?

... are in the world of Toril?

Like, yeah, of course, I'm not going to get an official exact count, but I'm asking about how many of the things I might possibly squeeze out of the whole planet.

Elder brains are definitely included, but undead (like illithiliches) are not.

I've got my own numbers, but I'm waiting until someone gives a solid guesstimate (and reasoning) before sharing my own - I don't want to put potentially wrong ideas out without getting other feedback first. My own are generally made up anyway (based on a combination of eyeballing, guesses, and a calculator), so... I'm curious if anyone has any solid ideas and arguments for why.

Thanks!
