Where a country ran no household survey in a year, the Bank estimates the figure from the surveys it did run.

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 2014.

  • 147 distinct values among 172

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 2 decimals. 12 countries share 0.00. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 172 countries has every column.
