This is a cross-section: 15 series across 6 breakdowns. 75 values in total.
“Number of zoo visits: – number of museums” leads the table with 3,216, “Number of spectators: – total, million persons” closes it with 2.2. The gap between them is 1,462-fold.
The table rows separate quantitative characteristics of the cultural sphere to allow for a comparison between the number of institutions and actual public interest. Total attendance and attendance per thousand people are compared, helping to assess the popularity of theaters regardless of population growth. Such indicators reveal the difference between the absolute scale of the industry and the average level of citizen engagement in the country's cultural life
