Method and limitations
Method and limitations
No missing value is imputed. Where colour classes are used, their breaks and colours come from the catalogue; source-declared suppression remains missing.
The area mean gives every published geographic area equal weight. It is not weighted by population, exposure or area size.
Municipality-only: published poverty rates and income quantiles cannot be validly reconstructed for parent areas from municipal percentages or quantiles.
