Where these numbers come from11 Oct 2026
Prize winners come from the Nobel Prize API (nobelprize.org) and Wikidata. Each winner is placed on the site’s metros by where they worked when the prize was awarded, and by where they were born.
Every prize-year carries a tier weight: Tier 1 (Nobel, Fields, Abel, Turing) 10, Tier 2 (Pritzker, Wolf, Breakthrough, Kyoto, Lasker, Crafoord) 5, Tier 3 (Booker, Pulitzer, Hugo, Praemium Imperiale) 2. The weight is divided equally among that prize-year’s winners, so a shared prize splits its points.
Organisations count for their headquarters. A winner whose place could not be resolved appears in the laureates list but on no board. Affiliation is harder to find than birthplace, so the worked-at boards understate places whose laureates are not yet resolved.
