  • Level medians are measured across India, not re-cut to Mumbai. City percentiles have not been re-probed at these level boundaries, so the national figure is the honest one to show here.
  • The levels partition the whole tracked population with no gaps, so the all-levels figure and the level figures reconcile.
  • A level is published only when it clears the 25-record gate. Below that we withhold rather than estimate.
