Datasets with different boundaries
Socio-economic data is gathered at the governorate level, unlike election results that are reported at the circonscription level. While election results can be displayed here at either level, socio-economic data cannot be viewed at the circonscription level; please keep this in mind when comparing with election results at the circonscription level.

Population size
Election results are drawn from a population of citizens 18 years and older (those who are eligible to vote). For the socio-economic data, the underlying population size varies according to the type of data. For example, the "youth ratio" dataset refers to the percentage per governorate of young people between 15-34 in 2014. Unemployment and illiteracy rates refer to Tunisians 15 years and older. Note: all communications data (mobile, internet and computer coverage) is measured at the household level, with a household defined as, on average, 4.21 people.
