How to read this table

The rows differ in meaning: the first accounts for the number of institutions, while the other two measure population involvement in cultural life. Comparing the total number of spectators with the indicator per 1,000 people shows the average popularity of theaters among residents nationwide. This helps to compare the scale of the theater network with actual audience interest

What is visible in these numbers
