About This Statistic

MapTheory uses only finite ISO-mapped observations from the fixed 2020 WHO slice recorded below. Aggregates, missing values, non-ISO geographies, conflicting duplicate observations, and every other year or dimension slice are excluded; MapTheory never imputes or interpolates missing countries.
