How this ranking works

Every region is ranked on its value for 2025, the latest period that most regions have, so all values are for the same point in time. Regions without a value for 2025 are left out. Groups and aggregates such as the European Union are not ranked. Values are as published by Eurostat; the ranking is a plain ordering from the highest to the lowest value and says nothing about whether a high value is good or bad.
