04Caveats

Read before you use

What this edition’s numbers are and are not, worked out from the file itself.

The site’s method

One year of the 2024 release
Every year in this series comes from UN DESA Population Division’s 2024 release, recalculated on one method. It can differ from what was first published for 2006.
221 distinct values among 222
Values are stored exactly as published, to 3 decimals. 2 countries share 11.01. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
The position is ours
UN DESA Population Division publishes values only. The order here sorts the published values, and the page says so wherever it prints one.
Which end is better
A higher value is the worse result.
Nothing missing
Every one of the 222 countries has every column.
