Method and limitations

Method and limitations

No missing value is imputed. Classification breaks and colours come from the catalogue, and 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.

The SQLite release uses the fixed 565-code municipality reference table for every historical year.
