# stddevPopStable
The result is equal to the square root of [varPop](../../../sql-reference/aggregate-functions/reference/varpop.md). Unlike [`stddevPop`](../reference/stddevpop.md), this function uses a numerically stable algorithm. It works slower but provides a lower computational error.
**Syntax**
```sql
stddevPopStable(x)
```
**Parameters**
- `x`: Population of values to find the standard deviation of. [(U)Int*](../../data-types/int-uint.md), [Float*](../../data-types/float.md), [Decimal*](../../data-types/decimal.md).
**Returned value**
Square root of standard deviation of `x`. [Float64](../../data-types/float.md).
**Example**
Query:
```sql
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test_data;
CREATE TABLE test_data
(
population Float64,
)
ENGINE = Log;
INSERT INTO test_data SELECT randUniform(5.5, 10) FROM numbers(1000000)
SELECT
stddevPopStable(population) AS stddev
FROM test_data;
```
Result:
```response
┌─────────────stddev─┐
│ 1.2999977786592576 │
└────────────────────┘
