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.

Cause categories are the publisher's mutually exclusive annual presentation groups. COVID-19 and residual U-code categories are not merged because their published meanings vary by year.
