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.

Sum of the four published monthly observations January-April 2026; deliberately labelled YTD, not a complete year.

Year to date through month 4; not comparable with complete calendar years.
