FILTERS WITH THE LARGEST CHANGE

Which filters change each estimate?

Remove one filter at a time. Keep every other filter the same. Every bar uses the same 0–100% scale.

Do not add these percentages. Some filters remove the same people. Age sets the group, so it does not appear as a filter you can remove here.
