Put this place next to somewhere else
This page is about one place. But nobody moves to a place — everybody moves from another one. Pick up to three to put alongside, and the same figures appear in the same order for all of them.
Every row is read for the same year across all columns — the most recent year every column actually has, printed under the measure. We do not rank the columns for you, because which row weighs heaviest is your question, not ours.
