How to calculate and compare this estimate
Fine-metal tonnes × 32,150.7465686 ÷ 213,562,666 residents = fine troy ounces per resident. Display rounding does not change the rank. Total tonnes answer a different question from the per-person ratio.
Country-specific evidence is used where available; regional and peer-country estimates extend coverage to 195 countries. Compare dates, evidence and model scenarios as well as base values. An overlapping range does not establish a clear ranking difference.
The separate official-reserves view contains 29 reported country records. Missing official data do not mean zero.
