In context
Where Bhoome sits among the 4 local governments of Rukum East. By population, 2021 census.
Literacy rate
66.8%–76.5%
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.
