Field notes
The map index covers demographic, economic, environmental, political, and housing measures, with dates and geographic coverage stated alongside the examples. Some historical series explicitly rely on estimates, and the page marks those pixels with dithering; it also notes where coverage grows as records begin. The project lists sources and methods on each map, plus credits, licences, data dates, and a separate explanation of how it counts.
