Olympic and Paralympic success (per capita)
From Stats New Zealand
Paralympic medals per capita
and (you’ve seen this before) Olympic medals per capita
Congratulations to the athletes.
This being StatsChat, I will note that it’s not obvious where the bars begin and end in these plots (is the white pedestal included? Is the grey top included? How about the flag-wrapped athlete?), and however I try to do it, the Grenada bar seems to measure less than twice the length of the Jamaica bar, which shouldn’t be the case.

It looks like each white bar (not counting dias) has had ~20 pixels added to it (based on counting the pixels of the first three bars and relating their ratios to 9.57/4.38 and 9.57/2.98). I would guess it was added to make room for the text/graphic on the bar.

From @StatisticsNZ “The bar lengths are just rough representations rather than exact differences”.
