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, 2013 covers 172 countries. DR Congo is highest, at 78.63; 6 countries share the lowest reading, 0.00. The middle country reads 4.46. Against 2012, 165 values changed (50 up, 115 down), the same countries are covered.

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 2013.

  • 147 distinct values among 172

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 2 decimals. 6 countries share 0.08. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 172 countries has every column.
