Rank all areas by a single chosen indicator. Returns every area's value for one indicator, ordered best-first by the direction-corrected ``normalized_score`` (a higher normalised score always means fewer cracks on that indicator). The raw value and unit are included so the fig...

Return pairwise correlations between the six indicators across areas. Computes the Pearson correlation coefficient between every pair of the six Cracks Index indicators, using each area's direction-corrected normalised score. Adds a short plain-language note naming the stronge...
