| Logical Consistency |
The data represents snapshots of the urban population percentage for each country in 10 year intervals starting from 1964. It does not show the percentage data for each year between 1964 and 2014. That is, there are six data records for each country.

| Process Step |
From the World Bank's data site, select the Urban population (% of total) indicator. Slide the year selectors from 1964 to 2014. Scrolling down to the results table, copy the data for each Lower Mekong country (Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam) to an Excel spreadsheet file and save.
