In context
Where Annapurna sits among the 5 local governments of Kaski. By population, 2021 census.
Literacy rate
76.1%–90.1%
One order throughout, set by population, so a mark out of step ranks differently on that measure. Counts are bars from zero; rates are dots on a trimmed axis, because a rate is not additive and its spread matters more than its distance from nothing.
