An interactive explorer for Benford's Law across real datasets

What is the probability that a number, picked at random from the real world, begins with the digit 1? The instinctive answer is one in nine — roughly 11%. There are nine non-zero digits. If they are equally likely, each gets an equal share. This is the classical probability argument, and it feels airtight. In almost any large dataset drawn from the real world — populations of cities, lengths ...
