Active members per year (modelled)

Synthetic estimate — the API only exposes each member's latest expiry, so this curve assumes (a) annual memberships, (b) continuous renewal until the last known expiry, and (c) member_number is roughly sequential, anchored at HPAC's founding year (1974). Treat the absolute heights as an order-of-magnitude indication, not a precise count.

Cohort retention by member-number block

Member numbers are roughly sequential by join era — older blocks have lower retention; the 8000-block is mostly current joiners.
