Data Insights

Numbers, trends & sources behind this chart

• Values use the measure and unit named on this page. Consult the dataset description and cited source for coverage, definitions and any unit conversions. Displayed values may be rounded for readability.
• Missing years are left empty rather than estimated — no interpolation, no carrying a previous year forward.
• Change is measured between the first and last year in which an entity actually reported a value, so a series that starts late is not penalised for the years before it existed.
• The compound annual rate is (last ÷ first)^(1 ÷ years) − 1, using those same two reported years.
• Entities are ranked highest-first on their value in 2018.
• An entity that reported nothing in the latest year is still listed — it follows the ranked entities in the table rather than being dropped.
