That's the thing about trends in aggregate data. It tells very little about the details of any particular situation. There are almost certainly a wide variety of subgroups where this particular trend doesn't hold, and others where the changes are even more dramatic.

But the aggregate trend is quite clear.

How would aggregation of unreliable data help?
