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

How values are stored

One year of the 2025 release
Every year in this series comes from IFHV’s 2025 release, recalculated on one method. It can differ from what was first published for 2006.

Values are stored exactly as published, to 2 decimals. 3 countries share 3.23. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
The position is ours
IFHV publishes values only; the order is this site’s.
Nothing missing
Every one of the 193 countries has every column.
