Chart Interactivity
Most charts and figures are interactive. You can hover your mouse (or click on mobile/tablet) to show individual data point's values. On bar/line charts you can show individual categories by hovering over them in the legend.
Data Processing
You can view our data processing pipelines here. In general, we replace "low" entries (greater than 0, less than 5) with 2. There are some instances where this is impractical, so we omit "low" entries, stating when this happens. All the headline stats are rounded for readability.
