word counts in each plan's own language
We counted how often each local plan or strategy on antisemitism that we collected, and each wider local plan that names antisemitism, uses the words of 15 topics. We counted in the language in which the plan was written and report each count per 1,000 words of its text.
We counted words, and no one has read the passages to code them. We counted a word every time it appears, whether in a heading, a table of contents, a footnote or a sentence saying that a measure will not be taken. A plan can also treat a topic at length in words that are not on the topic's list. In a short text, a few uses of a word change the rate a great deal. German joins nouns into compounds, so we also counted German stems inside a word; in the other languages we counted a stem only at the start of a word. We shaded each column from its lowest rate to its highest, so a dark cell under Sport means a far lower rate than a dark cell under Antisemitism.
Darker cells mean more uses per 1,000 words, judged within each column. Click a place's name for its plan's page; click a topic to sort by it.
We lower-cased the text and removed accents before counting, so "Jüdisch" and "jüdisch" are counted alike. Words counted under "Israel" exclude israélite and israelitisch, which name Jewish communities in French, German and Swiss usage. Where we saved the plan together with other papers (council minutes, an engagement report), we counted the longest file, and where a plan was saved inside a council agenda, as in Waverley, Hunters Hill and Port Phillip, we counted only the plan's own pages. We profiled only documents that meet the project's rule for a plan and left out texts under 500 words. Where two saved layouts of one plan give the same word count (Copenhagen, 2023), we show the later one. The counts for every plan are in word_profiles.csv.
