What is Points vs Change?
Moving from 20% to 25% is a 5 percentage-point rise but a 25% relative increase. Reporting one as the other is one of the most common statistical errors.
How it works
We subtract the two percentages for the point difference, and divide by the starting value for the relative change, then explain why they differ.
