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.

Native NUTS3 value mapped only to exact district geography; not a municipality value. Selectors define the source universe and unit.

Default-filter coverage on exact native geography. Verviers is intentionally unavailable for NUTS-3 datasets because the two source parts are never generically rolled up.
