How to read this table
Comparing different countries on a single scale helps to understand how the road situation in Russia differs from global trends. The table presents data for Russia and forty-three other countries, including Austria and Belgium, to enable comparison of the number of accidents with casualties across different regions of the world. All values are provided in thousands, facilitating the interpretation of large statistical volumes and allowing for a quick assessment of the scale of incidents for each year
What is visible in these numbers
Top five values: Japan (726), Germany (309), Turkey (235), Republic of Korea (232), Italy (213). Gap between highest and lowest — by a factor of 427.1. The top five account for 71.4% of the total across all items — distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual, the dataset contains 8 periods. Of 200 possible values, 199 are filled (99.5%) — gaps are virtually absent
The same indicator for other periods
These series cannot be stitched together Over the common period 2010 values diverge — Rosstat recalculated the indicator using a revised methodology. They cannot be combined into a single chart: a break would appear at the junction, which did not actually occur
| Indicator for 2010 | here | in the adjacent series | divergence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Россия | 199,4 | 199,4 | +0,0 |
| Австрия | 35,3 | 35,3 | +0,0 |
| Беларусь | 6,4 | 6,4 | +0,0 |
