         The number of non- ``fill_value`` points.
 
+        This property returns the number of elements in the sparse series that are
+        not equal to the ``fill_value``. Sparse data structures store only the
+        non-``fill_value`` elements, reducing memory usage when the majority of
+        values are the same.
