The following year over year graphs compare the previous 365 days with the same period one year ago (i.e. 12/31/2014 through 12/31/2015 versus the same period from 2015 to 2016). With such a small market (sample size) these numbers can jump around, so it’s worth comparing these graphs over a period of time.
