Size of Census restatements, containerised weight

tt008.revisions.magnitude observed

Median absolute proportional change when a containerised-weight figure is restated. Answers how big a typical restatement is, not merely how often one happens. A source that revises often but trivially is different from one that revises rarely but by a third.

We pulled this number.

STATUS: WITHDRAWN · SINCE 1970-01 · RETURNS WHEN THE CONDITION BELOW IS MET

NO OBSERVATIONS YET. The archive holds 20,618 entries and every one is a `backfill` — our own air_weight_kg column arriving for the first time — with zero genuine restatements. A revision can only be observed by re-fetching a month we already hold and finding it changed, and until 2026-07-30 nothing did that: the weekly timer ran a superseded collector that crashed against the migrated schema. It now re-syncs the last six months every Friday. Lift when the archive holds genuine `revision` or `withdrawn` entries across at least a few distinct months — not on the first one, which could be a one-off. We will not serve data we cannot stand behind, so this page stays up but the numbers do not.

More on the practice: withdrawn data.
