Indicators

25

Every indicator of this subject, with the field it is measured over: the lowest territory and the highest, the middle half of them as a band, the median as a notch and Chile as a dot. A national figure on its own cannot say whether the country agrees with itself, and in a site about places that is the part worth reading.

Chile is not the median of its territories and the two marks rarely meet: the country is a sum weighted by people and the median commune is one commune. Where the dot sits well to the right of the notch, most communes are below a figure a few large ones carry.
