How we score

Every score shows how complete our data is - a score is only as good as the data behind it, and we'd rather show our gaps than hide them.

Complete: Complete — We've fully mapped this city from real, official, city-level data.
Mostly complete: Mostly complete — Most of the data is in, but some is partial — for example, provincial figures standing in for city-level.
Partially complete: Partially complete — Some real data is in, but coverage is partial — read this as a rough signal, not a measurement.
Limited data: Limited data — Limited data so far — we haven't fully mapped this city yet. This is a population-based placeholder, not a measurement.
