Poverty Headcount at $3.00 a Day, Line-up Estimates, 2000

2000, as World Bank Group’s 2026 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

These are the World Bank’s line-up estimates of the share of people living on less than $3.00 a day: one figure for every country in every year, the numbers the Bank adds up into its regional and world poverty counts. Where a country ran no household survey in a year, the Bank estimates the figure from the surveys it did run.

Poverty Headcount at $3.00 a Day, Line-up Estimates, 2000 covers 171 countries. DR Congo is highest, at 95.12; 7 countries share the lowest reading, 0.00. The middle country reads 16.14. Against 1999, 161 values changed (64 up, 97 down), 1 country joined.

How values are stored

  • One year of the 2026 release

    Every year in this series comes from World Bank Group’s 2026 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 2000.

  • 158 distinct values among 171

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 2 decimals. 7 countries share 0.00. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 171 countries has every column.
