This means that in 488 00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:41,152 seven it is lower than 489 00:12:41,152 --> 00:12:42,724 in us, and in seven it is higher. 490 00:12:42,724 --> 00:12:44,144 The seven that have it 491 00:12:44,144 --> 00:12:45,458 higher than ours are all 492 00:12:45,458 --> 00:12:46,558 larger villages that are 493 00:12:46,558 --> 00:12:48,384 our analogues. 494 00:12:48,384 --> 00:12:49,794 Six of the seven that are 495 00:12:49,794 --> 00:12:50,945 lower are very 496 00:12:50,945 --> 00:12:52,680 tiny. They are not our 497 00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:54,330 equals. So we're 498 00:12:54,330 --> 00:12:55,392 actually at the bottom of the 499 00:12:55,392 --> 00:12:57,686 list.
