What The Ups And Downs Really Mean
With movement this mixed, it is worth being skeptical of anyone drawing a strong conclusion from just the start and end points.
This is Syrian Arab Republic data, published by the source linked below. Indicator series like this are usually modeled/estimated between survey years, not measured fresh every year — trust the multi-year direction over any one data point.
This is the urban slice specifically — check the rural and national-total versions of this same indicator before drawing a country-wide conclusion. A national average can hide two very different local stories.
There's a real gap between 2014 and 2016 in the underlying data — not a zero, not an interpolated value, just missing. Don't read a straight line between those two points as what actually happened in between.
