Sources & methodology

Every figure is sourced

Every number in these datasets links back to a primary source, carries a last-verified date, and is flagged for confidence — verified, disputed, or estimate — so you can see exactly how solid each figure is before you use it. Contested figures are published as low-high ranges rather than single points, and superseded numbers are logged rather than silently overwritten.
