Also be aware when comparing old scores that things have changed several times. Up until 2006 it was scored on a 1600 point system. Then it became a 2400 point system. Then in 2016 it became a 1600 point system again.

So there are 10 years with a different score, as well as the issues with comparing population averages other people are talking about.
