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.
The source code domain matches the official boundary snapshot used by the map.
