04Caveats

Read before you use

What this edition’s numbers are and are not, worked out from the file itself.

The site’s method

This edition describes 2022
European Commission Joint Research Centre names each edition for the year it is released; the figures in INFORM Risk Index 2023 are for 2022.
65 distinct values among 191
Values are stored exactly as published, to 1 decimal. 8 countries share 3.0. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
The position is ours
European Commission Joint Research Centre publishes values only. The order here sorts the published values, and the page says so wherever it prints one.
Which end is better
A higher value is the worse result.
Nothing missing
Every one of the 191 countries has every column.
