Break down a region without opening the dashboard
A field team has 1,240 household responses across Syria and wants to see where malnutrition indicators cluster before the next distribution round.
The researcher asks
In the household survey, what is the average number of meals per day by governorate, and where is coverage thinnest?

listSurveys Finds the surveys this researcher may read. Surveys outside the organization, and special-category surveys without a recorded exception, stay out of the list.

Miqyas returns
Across 1,240 households, the average is 2.4 meals per day. Three governorates are well below that figure. The two lowest also have the smallest samples, so the gap may be real but their order is not reliable yet.
| Governorate | Average meals | Responses |
|---|---|---|
| Rif Dimashq | 2.6 | 412 |
| Aleppo | 2.5 | 388 |
| Idlib | 2.1 | 196 |
| Deir ez-Zor | 1.9 | 61 |
| Quneitra | 1.8 | 24 |
| No location recorded | 2.3 | 159 |
