The list on record

This page shows the 56 entries on record of 1473 published. Ranks 1 to 21 and 26 to 49 read from the report's tables and cross-checked against its narrative; ranks 22, 24 and 50 could not be read reliably from the PDF table (Sao Paulo and Stockholm hold two of 22 and 24). Selected ranks 51 to 101 from the narrative. Scores omitted because the PDF table columns are misaligned. See the original list.
