What the numbers say
In 2024, Jordan's access to clean fuels and technologies for cooking, rural (% of rural population) did not change 0 percentage points on 2023 (from 99% to 99%).
Across the 23 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2023), the average change was +0.04 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 0.37 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 1 percentage points in 2001 and the biggest yearly fall was 1 percentage points in 2013. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains less than 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
