How The 6 Series Compare

This chart compares 6 series side by side, not one trend over time. Read them against each other — the biggest number in the room is not automatically the most important line to follow.

A group with a small share can still matter most for the story — it is often the rate of change, not the current level, that is worth the closer look.
