Macau
Macau places highest on Tertiary Enrolment Ratio (top 1% worldwide) and lowest on Livestock Production Index (bottom 1%).
Macau in the Nations Inquiry Country Index
Macau appears in 54 of the statistics tracked here, but is not placed in the Country Index: the index needs a standing on three quarters of its topics, and Macau is measured on too few of them. Every published reading below is unaffected.

03Highs and lows
Where Macau stands out
The two ends of its own record: every statistic on which Macau sits within ten places of the best or worst in the world, plus its strongest and weakest readings overall. Each is turned into a percentile — its place among every country measured — which is what lets a hunger score and a press-freedom rank be compared at all.
Where Macau does best11
In the top third of all countries measured. 11 are within ten places of the best in the world, in a field of at least 50 countries — marked with that place.

Sources and how to read them
How to read this page
- The scores and ranks belong to their publishers. Nothing is adjusted, rescaled or re-ranked; each is reproduced from the edition named beside it. Where a row says position · derived, the publisher ranks nobody on that measure and the position is ours, made by ordering the published score.
- Each statistic shows its newest edition, which is not always the edition the Country Index uses: the index pins every source to one data year so its average compares like with like.
How a standing is built from percentiles, why Macau can move because other countries moved, and why publishers measure between 120 and 215 countries each are set out in full in how a standing is made and what a standing cannot tell you.
Sources
- Statistics: 9 publishers, each named beside its numbers, with every edition and licence on the datasets pages.

- Map and land borders: Natural Earth, public domain. Borders are de facto — where administration actually changes — not claimed.
