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.

Education shares use only age-25+ LOW/MIDDLE/HIGH as the known denominator. UNK is excluded from attainment shares and exposed through the known-coverage KPI. District components are summed through explicit municipality districtCode and shares are recomputed after selection.
