The column contains percentage values (1.95%-11.41%) representing regional proportions or shares at the entity level. These are intensive levels (shares/proportions) rather than ratios that compound over time. Summing percentages across different entities is meaningless (you cannot add "1.95% South" + "10.30% South"), but averaging them to find a typical regional share is valid. The dtype is object (likely formatted strings with %), and the values represent absolute levels of regional distribution, not multiplicative factors. </reasoning> <table_type_conflict>false</table_type_conflict> </result> ```
