How to read this page

Every figure above is a cited claim: a value, the named source, the date we last verified it, and a confidence mark. A high mark means an official statistical body or primary law. Medium means an official authority read through a secondary source. Low means a directional figure to check yourself. A national figure shown for a town is labelled as such; we do not pass a country average off as a local one.
