The authors of the Chart Book suggest reading the text and notes that accompany the charts, as explanations and nuances within the data cannot be fully revealed in charts.

Get detailed chart data by right-clicking on the chart in PowerPoint. Select “edit data.” An Excel file with the numbers used to build the charts will appear. Many numbers shown on the charts are rounded.

Note: There are no detailed data for the map charts in PowerPoint. All data for the map charts are reflected in the legends.

Mobile device users: Mobile phones and tablets cannot read Powerpoint. You will need to download an app to view the charts in Powerpoint. There are free and low cost apps available. All charts can be viewed within the PDF pages of the book.
