COMMENTARY

Very well set out statistics but in some, there were holes. For example. I wanted the average household size for mexico. I could get it for other countries, but not mexico and some others.

I agree with Lachlan. If average household size is listed, it should be available for all countries as well. if a trend was intended for the top markets, data for other countries should be available on a separate sheet.
