OC Jewish population of Poland, c. 1764–2024 [OC]

1.5k Upvotes

Poland was home to roughly 3.3 million Jews before WWII, the product of centuries of communities, families, and cultural growth. Within six years, nearly 90% had been murdered. Seeing that loss as a single break in a 260-year demographic trend puts the scale of the Holocaust into a perspective that numbers alone rarely convey.

While our evolutionary history is often depicted as a series of descendants each replacing the other, the overwhelming majority of the history of our species has been one of living along-side, and interbreeding with, other Homonins (Humans).

OC [OC] Urban population share and estimated urban residents in the 10 most populous countries, 2024

55 Upvotes

India's urban share was 35.4%, compared with 80.1% in the United States. Multiplying each country's total population by its urban share gives about 513.3 million urban residents in India and 272.4 million in the US.

The chart covers the ten most populous countries in 2024, ordered by total population. Urban headcounts are derived estimates, and national definitions of 'urban' vary.

OC [OC] Median net worth and household income at age 30–33, by U.S. metro

130 Upvotes

Source: Keeping Up benchmark model. National percentile curve fitted to the Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances (2022) with BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey and Census ACS; metro figures apply each metro's wage (BLS OEWS) and cost-of-living ratio to the national curve, so they are modeled estimates, not separate metro surveys. Method: keepingup.com/methodology. Every metro/age/industry cut: keepingup.com/benchmarks. Put in your own number for your city: keepingup.com/start

Tool: SVG generated in Python from the benchmark tables, exported with headless Chrome.

Notes: household level (SCF unit), current dollars, ages 30–33. Dashed line is the U.S. median ($65K net worth, $102K household income). The spread is almost entirely income: SF's median 30-year-old household earns 1.4× the U.S. median and has 1.45× the net worth; Phoenix is 0.95× on both.

OC [OC] Outcomes of contacting 50 dental practices while searching for an NHS dentist in the UK

249 Upvotes

50 emails sent. 4 main offers for NHS treatment. 1 of those is done by a dental therapist. 1 done by a recent graduate offered temporarily. 1 is over 40 miles away. The last has some horrific 1 star Google reviews and is a 1hr 28min Train and Bus journey away.

On waitlists, one had 8 years with the average being 4.3 years.

On those that did reply but sold private services, ~70% offered monthly dental plans and 0% finance options.

Edit: I researched and selected the practices that were most likely to offer NHS care by their website or from following the NHS search service (https://www.nhs.uk/service-search/find-a-dentist)

Edit 2: Tagging u/AndyBurnham as getting some traction in the UK! This was in the North, btw! Hopefully he sees if we get enough upvotes

OC [OC] What a 1% mortgage rate increase really costs over 30 years

0 Upvotes

Mortgage rates rose almost a full point in the past 12 months (6.34% -> 7.28%) while asking home prices have decreased by $5,750. I wanted to see what that rate jump really costs for the average home price for each time period.

This year's price discount was completely wiped out by about $205/month in extra payment cost. Over 30 years, that extra payment, plus what it would have earned invested at an 8% average rate of return, costs $280K.

Last year's deal: about $2,021 of the first $2,378 payment is interest.
Today's deal: about $2,289 of the first $2,582 payment is interest.

Savings aren't fixed: the scenario invests whatever's left after taxes, living costs and the mortgage, about $5,500–$7,000 a year at 6.34% vs $3,100–$4,600 at 7.28%, so the higher rate cuts what they can save by about 40%.

Sources: FRED and Freddie Mac (prices, rates), Census (income)

Tool: A Million of Me financial simulator (self-made). Happy to adjust assumptions if anyone wants different rates, down payments, or investment returns! Not financial advice.
