How the rankings work

Each ranking orders the places from the highest to the lowest value for one period: the latest period that most of them have, so every value is for the same point in time. A measure gets a ranking when at least ten places have a value for that period. Groups such as the European Union are shown on measure pages but are not ranked.

A high rank is not a judgement: for unemployment or emissions a low value may be the better one. Check the unit and the definition on each ranking before comparing. Methodology · Coverage and freshness
