About this map
The colours split the ranked places into five groups that narrow towards the top: the lowest 30%, then 25%, 20% and 15%, and the darkest is the top tenth; the bar above is drawn to those shares, with the figure at each break. Places left pale have no figure or too small a base to rank. Census figures about who lives in a place are shown on its page, never used to colour this map.
