How to read this table
Comparing countries by urban population share is convenient using the annual columns. Each row is identified by the country name, allowing for comparisons of urban population shares. The indicators do not have a single physical unit of measurement, as they represent the percentage of population groups within each specific country
What is visible in these numbers
Only 86% of the cells carry a value — empty cells are missing in the source publication and are not filled in here.
