Study overview / Appendices / Appendix C: Tables and the Indicators Behind Them

Each table and figure of the report is listed in Appendix C with the indicators it draws on and its base. Where one base covers the whole exhibit, Appendix C gives it. Where the base differs from row to row, the exhibit prints it beside each figure. From any table or figure, a reader can move to the companion analyses that hold the full statistics behind it. Where a table combines several indicators, each indicator is listed.
