How to read these country indicators

Reading guide

  • Country-level, not city-level

    Indicators describe national context. Pair them with city profiles, comparisons, and verified utility layers (emergency, healthcare, transport) for local detail.

  • Source-attributed where available

    Values come from the World Bank Development Indicators. Where no verified record exists, the platform shows a transparent fallback rather than a guessed number.

  • Different indicators, different years

    Each record carries its own data year because publishers refresh indicators on their own cadence. The card and table both display the year alongside the value.

  • Context, not a ranking

    Treat indicators as orientation, not as a leaderboard. The platform never claims any country is best, safest, cleanest, richest, healthiest, or most connected.

  • Read alongside city intelligence

    Country indicators are most useful when combined with the city profiles in the country, the public-safety, healthcare, and transport sections, and the methodology and data-sources pages.

For full construction details, read the methodology page and the data sources registry.

Economic context

National-level economic signals to read alongside city-level cost and services pages.

  • GDP per capita

    Verified
    90,674.07current US$

    Economic context only — not a cost-of-living score or a household-income measure.

    Data year 2024 updated 2026-04-08

  • Unemployment rate

    Verified
    2.82percent

    Modeled ILO labor-market context — not a guarantee of job availability for any specific worker.

    Data year 2025 updated 2026-04-08

Population and urban context

National scale and urbanisation context; pair with city profiles for local detail.

  • Population

    Verified
    6,036,860people

    Data year 2024 updated 2026-04-08

  • Urban population share

    Verified
    100percent

    Share of population living in urban areas — not a quality-of-life or urban-form measure.

Environment context

National emissions context; read separately from city-level air-quality data.

  • CO₂ emissions per capita
