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.
Archived cumulative COVID-19 case export; it is not a current-incidence measure and must not be compared as a live ranking.
Source-native municipality observations; no higher-grain value is assigned to a lower geography.
