Country indicators

Country indicators for Spain
VerifiedOfficial dataLast updated 2026-04-08 · data year 2024
How to read these country indicators
Reading guideCountry-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
