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.
Eurostat marks 2009 as a break in the time series and the latest 2024 observations as provisional. Verviers has no per-inhabitant value because Eurostat splits that district into two NUTS-3 regions; only their additive total GDP is summed.
Fixed NUTS 2024 geography. Verviers total GDP is the exact additive sum of BE335 and BE336; its non-additive GDP-per-inhabitant value is deliberately unavailable.
