Know what you're comparing

The architectural-height field drives the ranking. Missing secondary measurements remain null in JSON and blank in CSV. They are not zero. This dataset covers the 100 completed buildings. The selected construction projects and unbuilt concepts on the future-buildings page are separate and are not part of these rankings or downloads.
