04How we got this number
- Presence abroad
Sum of each place's weight: widespread = 1, regional = 0.5, marginal = 0.1. Where it only exists as a Brazilian export, the weight is multiplied by 0.5.
- 0.75 (0.55–0.95)
- Exclusivity E
From 0 (exists everywhere) to 1 (only in Brazil), on a log scale.
- 0.88 (0.86–0.91)
- Intensity I
How much more common it is in Brazil than in the other places where it exists.
Eaten daily in Brazil; abroad, in specialty bakeries. [1]
- 4 of 4
- Rarity coefficient R
R = E + 0.5 × (I ÷ 4) × (1 − E)
R = 0.88 + 0.5 × (4 ÷ 4) × (1 − 0.88) = 0.94
- 0.94
