How this figure is calculated
The year-on-year percentage change in Access to electricity urban vs rural. Computed from consecutive annual observations; years either side of a gap are skipped rather than bridged.
Computed from
- Access to electricity in urban vs. rural areas SDG 7.1.1 Electrification Dataset, World Bank, via World Bank (2026) – processed by Our World in Data
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
