How this figure is calculated
Adults (ages 15+) and children (0-14 years) living with HIV 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.
Adults (ages 15+) and children (0-14 years) living with HIV ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Adults (ages 15+) and children (0-14 years) living with HIV UNAIDS estimates
- 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.
