I have a long (approx. 4000 rows) list whose elements are in the form as follows:

{{x,y,z},a,b,c}

I want to count the number of elements c in the last column that are greater than a certain number d. How can I do it?

    $\begingroup$ Total@UnitStep[data[[All, -1]] - d]? Of course, Count is much nicer to read, but also much slower. To have something nice to read and fast, check out BoolEval (BoolCount) $\endgroup$

Suppose your long list is named data, one approach can be

Select[data, Last[#] > d &] // Length

where d should have a preset value.
