Compare places
Choose one measure and up to 12 places. Every place then uses the same published series, unit and source, although national definitions can still differ where the source says so. Every place uses the same unit and source definition, but the source marks some values with flag d (definition differs), so check the flags in the table before comparing them. 2025 is the most recent period with a value for every selected place.
