How values are stored

  • One year of the 2021 release

    Every year in this series comes from U.S. Department of State’s 2021 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 2013.

  • 36 distinct values among 170

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 1 decimal. 31 countries share 0.1. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • 71 empty cells

    An empty cell means the publisher gave no figure. It is never a zero.
