In context
Where Dhawalagiri sits among the 7 local governments of Myagdi. By population, 2021 census.
Population
Literacy rate
71.0%–84.6%
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.
