2007, 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, 2007 covers 171 countries. DR Congo is highest, at 91.04; 8 countries share the lowest reading, 0.00. The middle country reads 8.74. Against 2006, 159 values changed (34 up, 125 down), the same countries are covered.

Read before you use

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 2007.

  • 148 distinct values among 171

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 2 decimals. 8 countries share 0.00. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 171 countries has every column.
