How this figure is calculated

Land use hidden — Total area 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 — Total area ÷ Land area (sq. km)

Computed from

Land use hidden — Total area 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.
