Statistics that touch daily life: education, health care, public safety, work and housing. It spans hospital beds, physicians, school-advancement rates, minimum wages and job-openings ratios across Japan's prefectures, plus education spending, health spending, incarceration rates and suicide rates across countries.

The trap to avoid here is confusing counts with rates. The prefectures at the top of cancer deaths are simply the populous ones — the ranking reflects population size, not risk. Conversely a high crude death rate means an older population, not a less healthy one. Many indicators labelled "rate" are not age-adjusted, so read them alongside the population structure.
