Summary

How to read this

A RED row is not a broken query — it is the platform telling us the indicator cannot support the chart we had in mind. Choose demo indicators from GREEN. A modelled yes means the UN figure is an estimate, not a count; pairing one with a NYC administrative count needs an explicit caveat on the chart.
