How this figure is calculated
Land use hidden — Other areas divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Land use hidden — Other areas ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Land use hidden — Other areas Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
