Column 2: evidence · the ratio, year by year
Open data, followed all the way down to one person inside it.

how many province-years sit below a given household
Read these as counts of people a wage covers, not as a poverty verdict. Households share costs, so a wage covering 4 poverty-line individuals goes further than four people living alone — the ratio is a floor on the comparison, not the comparison itself.
