I put this together after reading about Sir David Attenborough turning 100 and wanted to understand where centenarians appear most often around the world. The chart in the original post is fully interactive and shows how different countries compare when you explore the data yourself.

Wasn’t there a paper that said lot of longevity records are due to fraud and poor record-keeping? Do you know if the Wikipedia data accounts for that?
Edit: found a [Guardian article](https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/oct/13/good-news-everyone-we-appear-to-have-reached-peak-longevity) covering the paper; here’s the [paper itself](https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/704080v3).
