Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Why Does 'Is-Number' Package Have 59M Weekly Downloads?
Ridiculous as it may be, my guess is that provides a unified way of number checking while avoiding the pitfalls or crazy consequences which could arise from divide-by-zero[1], which I guess might prevent less-experienced folks from tripping up on some of the Javascript gotchas? I'm not really sure. That being said, I have seen those package dependencies in some serious stuff.
Do I agree? I'm not really sure to be honest. Probably not.

Weekly downloads of npm is-odd package
it gets worse: https://github.com/i-voted-for-trump/is-odd/blob/master/index.js

my first pull request got merged in a 2k stars project
So it disappeared and node apps stop building and it was a huge fiasco getting it restored. Just for reference, https://github.com/i-voted-for-trump/is-odd is a current fork of it and it has 34M downloads.

/* This post is a dig at Elon Musk who allegedly ranked employees by the number of lines they wrote. I then added some obviously made up code to hammer home the point that line counts don't always indicate good employees. I also added this 300 character title in case Reddit ranks by title length. */
Checks of this extensiveness would be mad for such a simple library. I mean, who would use a library with that extensive checks?

Vendor by Default (2021)
I think that this approach would cut down the amount of JS dependencies significantly. Things like is-even and is-odd come to mind. You don't want another leftpad or colors.js to happen to you and minimising dependencies is the most effective strategy to accomplish that.
So many leaf dependencies I've looked into are no more than a Stackoverflow answer in a JS file accompanied by six or seven metadata files (package.json + typescript files + linter config + readme + git config + ...). This file: https://github.com/i-voted-for-trump/is-odd/blob/master/inde... is downloaded over 400000 times per week (https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-odd) and while I don't have anythimg against the author for publishing a helpers function, I don't see why I would expose my project to risking a supply chain attack for something so minor. Here's another, with millions of downloads: https://github.com/inspect-js/is-date-object/blob/main/index...
I know that these are all downloaded so ofyen because theyre dependencies of dependencies but I'd appreciate it if bigger libraries would provide a vendored version of their packages that just collects these microdependencies instead of wasting npm's time by making it manage these tiny helper files. Don't vendor stuff like React or Vue or whatever framework you prefer but for the love of God don't add a dependency for 50 lines of code. Sometimes copy/paste is the right solution.

Oops!
I started reading your comment curious about the source code. But I finished reading your comment only more curious. So I went to GitHub's "is-odd" and I've come back to give everyone *is-odd'*s source code in it's entirety. And here it is:

Babel is used by millions, so why are we running out of money? (2021)
I do appreciate your transparency, though I disagree with the sentiment that I’m arguing from a position of bad faith.
It’s a self-evident fact that the Babel team has not shown a moment of interest in lowering their role in the JavaScript ecosystem to anything short of kingmakers. Have a gander at their GitHub README and what do we see?[1]
- “Babel is a compiler for writing next generation JavaScript.” Indefinitely.
- Over a dozen sponsor logos. An embarrassment of riches.
- A literal audio recording of a song in praise of the project.
The Babel team has a well documented history of their priorities[2], emphasizing the need for a modular approach that has no exit strategy[3]. At best, we have a case of accidental entrenchment and long term dependence on the Babel brewing as early as 2017![4]
Compare this infinite circus to the humble but popular Normalize.css, which has the express purpose to stop existing.[5]
If the Babel team wants to raise some money, they can start by putting a plan together that would codify an exit strategy. It’s certainly more noble than their current plan of barnacling on to every NPM package…

Reveddit does not work
The problem was I had used some new code, Javascript's replaceAll(), that is unsupported by older browsers. And, the setup I have to automatically fix such issues (called babel) is out of date. So, while this problem appears to be resolved there, I hadn't updated that in awhile.
