Service life
Years in service. The band runs from the shortest to the longest life the sources state, so it shows how much they disagree, not how long 80% of units last. The line is the median of the stated lives.

Municipal lives for roadways (G2010)
28 municipalities in Ontario state a life for roadways as a whole, in 28 distinct tables: 3–100 years, median 45. 108 rows come from capital asset policies (accounting lives, used for amortization) and 48 from asset management plans (planning lives, used to forecast replacement). They describe the system rather than this component, and none is a measured life.
Years. Each dot is one stated life and each bar a stated range; equal values stack. Hollow marks are planning lives from asset management plans; filled marks are accounting lives from policies. The dashed line is the median. Policies that copy the same table count once.
