HDI score (0–1)Higher is better — rank 1 leadsPublished by UNDP Human Development Report Office
34 data years (1990–2023), imported from the 2025 Human Development Report's own composite-indices time series — one file covering every year at once, like World Happiness and Rule of Law. ⚠ This is ONE report's self-consistent recalculation of 1990–2023, not 34 separate originally-published editions: UNDP restates prior years on its current methodology each time it publishes, so these numbers are not what an earlier report actually printed for, say, 2005. UNDP states an official rank only for the latest year (2023); every other year's rank is derived by ordering the score, and that derivation was verified to reproduce UNDP's own 2023 ranking exactly before being trusted for the rest.

Recalculated on the 2025 Human Development Report's current methodology, not the figures originally published for this year — see docs/PROJECT-PLAN.md 11.1e. Rank is derived by ordering the HDI score, descending; verified to reproduce UNDP's own 2023 published ranking exactly.
