Every people & society figure Nomor holds for Micronesia, with the year and the source it came from.
Figure	Value	Year	Source
Sex ratio at birthBoys born per 100 girls. Biology keeps this near 105 everywhere; persistent big deviations signal sex-selective practices.	107.0	2024	World Bank / UN
Homicide rateIntentional killings per 100,000 people per year — the most internationally comparable crime statistic (UNODC).	0.91	2019	UNODC
Road deathsDeaths from road traffic incidents per 100,000 people — drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians combined (WHO).	0.2	2019	WHO (UN SDG 3.6.1)
Prison populationPeople held in prison per 100,000 population, including pre-trial and remand detainees (World Prison Brief).	127.0	2014	ICPR World Prison Brief
Adolescent fertilityBirths per 1,000 women aged 15–19 per year — a standard indicator of adolescent reproductive health and, indirectly, of girls’ access to education and family planning.	43.7	2024	UN WPP via World Bank
Population growthHow much a country's population changed over the last year, as a percentage — the net result of births, deaths and migration combined. Negative values mean the population shrank.	0.5%	2025	World Bank / UN WPP
Age dependency ratioThe number of people too young (under 15) or too old (over 64) to typically work, per 100 people of working age (15–64). A rising ratio means more dependents per working-age person, whether from a young, growing population or an aging one.	60.5%	2025	World Bank / UN
Government effectivenessOne of the World Bank's six Worldwide Governance Indicators: perceptions of the quality of public services, the quality of the civil service and how independent it is from political pressure, and the credibility of the government's own policy commitments. Scored 0–100. Distinct from the corruption-perceptions score above, which asks specifically about bribery and misuse of public office rather than administrative competence.	47.7	2024	Worldwide Governance Indicators, World Bank
Rule of lawOne of the World Bank's six Worldwide Governance Indicators: perceptions of confidence in and abidance by the rules of society — contract enforcement, property rights, the police and the courts, and the likelihood of crime and violence. Scored 0–100. A broader institutional-quality measure than the homicide rate above, which counts one specific outcome rather than confidence in the system overall.	73.8	2024	Worldwide Governance Indicators, World Bank
Political stabilityOne of the World Bank's six Worldwide Governance Indicators: perceptions of the likelihood that a government will be destabilized or overthrown by unconstitutional or violent means, including politically motivated violence and terrorism. Scored 0–100.	91.5	2024	Worldwide Governance Indicators, World Bank
Birth rateLive births per 1,000 people in the population per year. Unlike the fertility rate above (children per woman, independent of age structure), the crude birth rate is pulled up or down by how many women of childbearing age a population actually has — a young population can show a high birth rate even at a moderate fertility rate (World Bank / UN).	22.3	2024	World Bank / UN
Death rateDeaths per 1,000 people in the population per year. Unlike life expectancy above (a hypothetical, age-standardized measure), the crude death rate reflects a population's actual age structure — an older population can show a higher death rate even where people are living longer than ever, simply because more of it has reached old age (World Bank / UN).	7.7	2024	World Bank / UN
Income share, richest 10%The share of a country's total income (or consumption) that goes to the richest 10% of its population. A concrete complement to the Gini coefficient elsewhere on this page, which compresses the whole distribution into a single 0–1 number (World Bank Poverty and Inequality Platform).	29.7%	2013	World Bank Poverty and Inequality Platform
Income share, poorest 10%The share of a country's total income (or consumption) that goes to the poorest 10% of its population — the other end of the distribution from the top-10% share above. Together the two show how income is split at each extreme, a picture the single Gini number above can't give on its own (World Bank Poverty and Inequality Platform).	1.9%	2013	World Bank Poverty and Inequality Platform
Women in cabinetShare of ministerial or equivalent government positions (including deputy prime ministers) held by women — the executive-branch counterpart to the women-in-parliament figure above, which counts the legislature. The two can diverge: a country can appoint many women to cabinet while electing few to its legislature, or the other way around (Inter-Parliamentary Union & UN Women, Women in Politics).	37.5%	2025	IPU & UN Women via World Bank
International migrantsShare of a country's population, at mid-year, who were born in a country other than the one they live in (including refugees) — a snapshot of the accumulated stock of migrants living there today. Distinct from the net-migration figure above, which measures the recent flow (arrivals minus departures over the latest 5-year window) rather than the total stock built up over decades (UN DESA Population Division via World Bank).	2.6%	2024	UN DESA Population Division via World Bank
Prison overcrowdingThe number of people held in prison as a share of a country's official prison capacity. Above 100% means a prison system is holding more people than it was built for — a measure of strain on the justice system, distinct from the prison population rate elsewhere on this page, which measures the scale of incarceration relative to a country's population rather than how full its facilities are (World Prison Brief, ICPR, via Our World in Data).	88.0%	2014	World Prison Brief (ICPR) via Our World in Data
Women in senior managementShare of senior and middle management positions held by women. A third seat of gender-leadership representation on this page, alongside the women-in-parliament (legislative) and women-in-cabinet (executive) figures above — a country can elect many women to office while still showing few in corporate leadership, or the reverse (ILO via World Bank).	18.2%	2014	ILO via World Bank

Figure	Value	Year	Source
Alcohol consumptionLitres of pure alcohol the average person aged 15+ drinks per year. 10 litres is roughly 80 bottles of wine.	2.0	2020	WHO GHO
ObesityShare of adults with a body-mass index above 30. BMI is weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared.	46.8%	2024	WHO GHO
Suicide rateDeaths from self-harm per 100,000 people, age-standardized for cross-country comparison. From the WHO Global Health Observatory; a public-health indicator, shown for context alongside the other health metrics.	21.9	2021	WHO Global Health Observatory
Maternal mortalityThe estimated number of women who die from pregnancy or childbirth-related causes per 100,000 live births (WHO / UN Maternal Mortality Estimation Inter-agency Group).	74.3	2020	WHO / UN MMEIG
Child mortalityShare of children who die before their fifth birthday, out of all live births — one of the most closely watched child-health indicators (UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation).	2.2%	2024	UN IGME
Measles vaccinationShare of one-year-olds who have received the first dose of the measles vaccine — a standard marker of routine childhood immunization coverage (WHO/UNICEF).	81.0%	2024	WHO/UNICEF (WUENIC)
Out-of-pocket health costsShare of a country's total health spending that patients pay directly out of pocket, rather than through insurance or government programs — higher shares mean more financial risk for the sick.	2.6%	2023	WHO via World Bank
Nurses & midwivesNurses and midwives per 1,000 people — a core measure of a health system’s frontline staffing (WHO).	2.22	2019	WHO via World Bank
Children out of schoolPrimary-school-age children who are not enrolled in primary or secondary school, as a share of that age group (UNESCO Institute for Statistics).	23.1%	2024	UNESCO UIS via World Bank
Anemia in womenShare of women aged 15–49 whose hemoglobin level falls below the healthy threshold (12 g/dL for non-pregnant women, 11 g/dL for pregnant women) — a marker of iron deficiency and nutritional health.	22.1%	2023	WHO via World Bank
Tuberculosis incidenceEstimated new and relapse tuberculosis cases arising in a year, per 100,000 people, including cases in people living with HIV (WHO Global Tuberculosis Report).	264.0	2024	WHO Global TB Report via World Bank
Pupil–teacher ratioThe average number of pupils per teacher in primary school. A lower ratio generally means more individual attention per student, though it says nothing about teacher quality.	19.7	2015	UNESCO UIS via World Bank
Trained teachers, primaryShare of primary-school teachers who have received the minimum organized teacher training (pre-service or in-service) required to teach at that level. A teacher-quality companion to the pupil-teacher ratio elsewhere on this page, which only measures class size — a country can show a favorable ratio with many untrained teachers, or the reverse (UNESCO Institute for Statistics via World Bank).	27.0%	2023	UNESCO UIS via World Bank
Trained teachers, secondaryShare of secondary-school teachers who have received the minimum organized teacher training required to teach at that level — the secondary-school counterpart to the primary-level figure above. The two can diverge: some countries train primary teachers far more consistently than secondary subject specialists, or the reverse (UNESCO Institute for Statistics via World Bank).	31.1%	2021	UNESCO UIS via World Bank
DTP3 immunizationShare of one-year-olds who have received all three recommended doses of the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccine — a standard benchmark of routine childhood immunization coverage (WHO/UNICEF).	76.0%	2024	WHO/UNICEF via World Bank
Government health spendingGovernment spending on health — public insurance schemes, government hospitals, subsidies — as a share of GDP. Distinct from total health spending (public plus private/out-of-pocket), which is not shown separately on this page (WHO Global Health Expenditure Database).	1.8%	2023	WHO via World Bank
Primary enrollmentTotal primary-school enrollment, regardless of age, as a share of the population that is officially primary-school age — a 'gross' ratio, so it can exceed 100% where older or younger students are enrolled (UNESCO Institute for Statistics).	82.2%	2024	UNESCO UIS via World Bank
Calorie supplyThe daily food supply available per person, in kilocalories — how much food reaches households and markets, not necessarily how much is eaten (some is wasted). A rough companion to the undernourishment share above: supply well above requirement doesn't rule out unequal access within a country (FAO).	2.6K	2023	FAO via Our World in Data
Neonatal mortalityDeaths in the first 28 days of life, per 1,000 live births — the highest-risk slice of the infant mortality window above, when complications from birth, prematurity and infection are most dangerous (UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation).	11.6	2024	UN IGME via World Bank
Pre-primary enrollmentTotal enrollment in early-childhood or pre-primary education, regardless of age, as a share of the population that is officially pre-primary age — a 'gross' ratio, so it can exceed 100% where older or younger children are enrolled (UNESCO Institute for Statistics).	5.9%	2021	UNESCO UIS via World Bank
Diabetes prevalenceShare of adults aged 20–79 estimated to have diabetes (type 1 or type 2), from national surveys and studies compiled into a single comparable estimate (International Diabetes Federation, IDF Diabetes Atlas).	19.2%	2024	International Diabetes Federation via World Bank
Meat supplyThe quantity of meat — all types combined — available for consumption per person per year, in kilograms. Like the calorie-supply figure above, this measures what reaches markets and households, not necessarily what gets eaten; some is wasted (FAO Food Balance Sheets).	64.0	2023	FAO via Our World in Data
Polio immunizationShare of one-year-olds who have received the full three-dose course of polio vaccine. A companion to the measles and DTP3 immunization figures above — together the three are the standard benchmarks of a country's routine childhood immunization program (WHO/UNICEF).	76.0%	2024	WHO/UNICEF via World Bank
Deaths from infectious diseaseShare of all deaths, at all ages, from infectious and parasitic diseases, respiratory infections, and maternal, prenatal or nutritional conditions combined. Together with the non-communicable share below, this shows a country's overall cause-of-death profile — the 'epidemiological transition' from infectious to chronic disease that tends to accompany development (WHO Global Health Estimates).	14.1%	2021	WHO Global Health Estimates via World Bank
Deaths from chronic diseaseShare of all deaths, at all ages, from cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other non-communicable conditions combined. The complement of the communicable-disease share above; together with deaths from injury (not broken out separately here), the causes of death sum to roughly 100% (WHO Global Health Estimates).	78.3%	2021	WHO Global Health Estimates via World Bank
Survival to 65 (women)The share of a cohort of newborn girls that would survive to age 65 if they experienced today's age-specific death rates for their whole life. Unlike life expectancy above (an average number of years), this is a single probability; unlike child mortality above, it captures survival across the whole adult lifespan rather than just early childhood (World Bank / UN World Population Prospects).	74.3%	2024	World Bank / UN World Population Prospects
Survival to 65 (men)The male counterpart to the female survival-to-65 figure above. The gap between the two is one of the most consistent patterns in global health — men have a higher death rate than women at almost every adult age, in almost every country (World Bank / UN World Population Prospects).	56.6%	2024	World Bank / UN World Population Prospects
Hepatitis B immunizationShare of one-year-olds who have received the full three-dose course of hepatitis B vaccine. A fourth companion to the measles, DTP3 and polio immunization figures elsewhere on this page — hepatitis B guards against a different disease (a liver infection that can become chronic) than any of the other three (WHO/UNICEF).	85.0%	2024	WHO/UNICEF via World Bank
Primary school gender parityThe ratio of girls to boys enrolled in primary school (gross enrollment). A value of 1.00 means equal enrollment; below 1 means fewer girls than boys are enrolled, above 1 means more girls than boys. Most countries sit close to parity at the primary level, which is part of why the secondary-level figure below is often the more revealing one (UNESCO Institute for Statistics via World Bank).	1.00	2021	UNESCO UIS via World Bank

Tourist arrivalsOvernight visitors arriving from abroad per year. Each trip counts separately, so one frequent traveller can register several arrivals (UN Tourism).	18K	2019	UN Tourism
Income inequalityThe Gini coefficient summarizes income inequality from 0 (everyone earns the same) to 1 (one person earns everything). Most countries land between 0.25 and 0.55.	0.40	2013	World Bank PIP
Extreme povertyShare of people living on less than $3 a day (2021 PPP) — the World Bank's International Poverty Line for extreme poverty.	26.1%	2013	World Bank PIP
ExportsGoods & services, share of GDP	22.1%	2025	World Bank national accounts
Mobile subscriptionsPer 100 people	20.0	2022	ITU via World Bank
Median incomeThe income (or consumption) of the person in the exact middle of the distribution, per day, adjusted for price differences between countries (PPP). Unlike GDP per person, the median is not pulled up by a rich minority (World Bank Poverty and Inequality Platform).	$4.66	2013	World Bank PIP
Broadband accessFixed broadband internet connections (cable, fibre, DSL) per 100 people — mobile-only connections are not counted (ITU).	5.8	2022	ITU via Our World in Data
Youth not in work or schoolShare of 15–24 year-olds who are neither in school, in training, nor working — a measure of disconnection from both education and the labor market (ILO, SDG 8.6.1).	28.7%	2014	ILO (SDG 8.6.1) via Our World in Data
Private-sector creditLoans, trade credit and other credit extended to private businesses and households by banks and other financial institutions, as a share of GDP — a common proxy for financial-sector depth.	23.4%	2021	World Bank / IMF Financial Statistics
Current account balanceThe balance of a country's trade in goods and services plus income and transfers with the rest of the world, as a share of GDP. A negative number (deficit) means the country is a net borrower from abroad that year; positive (surplus) means it's a net lender.	7.1%	2014	IMF Balance of Payments via World Bank
Remittances receivedMoney sent home by people working abroad — personal transfers plus compensation of short-term foreign workers — as a share of the receiving country's GDP. For some lower-income countries this exceeds foreign aid or investment.	7.4%	2014	World Bank / IMF
Foreign direct investmentNet inflows of investment from abroad to acquire a lasting stake (10%+ of voting stock) in local businesses, as a share of GDP — new investment minus disinvestment.	6.4%	2014	IMF Balance of Payments via World Bank
Trade opennessThe sum of a country's exports and imports of goods and services, as a share of GDP — a standard measure of how exposed an economy is to international trade. Values can exceed 100% for small economies built around trade or re-export hubs (e.g. Singapore, Luxembourg).	93.1%	2025	World Bank & OECD via Our World in Data
Agriculture share of GDPThe contribution of farming, forestry and fishing to a country's economic output, as a share of GDP — a classic indicator of how much an economy still depends on primary-sector production versus industry and services.	24.2%	2025	World Bank national accounts
ICT service exportsExports of computer, information and telecommunications services, as a share of a country's total service exports (as distinct from goods) — a look at trade composition through services rather than the manufactured high-tech goods measured above.	4.0%	2014	IMF Balance of Payments via World Bank
Manufactured exportsManufactured goods, as a share of a country's total merchandise (goods) exports. The complement side of the trade-composition picture from the fuel-exports figure above: economies with a high manufactures share typically sell finished or processed goods rather than raw commodities (UN Comtrade / World Integrated Trade Solution via World Bank).	0.5%	2013	UN Comtrade / WITS via World Bank
Foreign currency reservesReserve assets — foreign currency, gold and IMF reserve positions — that a country's central bank holds and can draw on to meet balance-of-payments needs or to intervene in currency markets. Reported in current US dollars, so bigger economies naturally carry bigger totals (IMF International Financial Statistics via World Bank).	$497.4M	2021	IMF International Financial Statistics via World Bank
Bank branchesThe number of physical retail branches of commercial banks per 100,000 adults — a measure of in-person banking infrastructure, distinct from the account-ownership figure above (who has access to an account, not how many physical locations serve them) and from the ATM count below (self-service machines rather than staffed branches) (IMF Financial Access Survey via World Bank).	13.0	2024	IMF Financial Access Survey via World Bank
ATMsThe number of automated teller machines per 100,000 adults — the self-service counterpart to the bank-branch count above. Some countries with relatively few physical branches still show wide ATM coverage, and vice versa, since the two channels get built out independently (IMF Financial Access Survey via World Bank).	13.0	2024	IMF Financial Access Survey via World Bank
Natural resource rentsThe combined value of oil, natural gas, coal, mineral and forest rents — the gap between what these resources sell for and the cost of extracting them — as a share of GDP. A rough gauge of how dependent an economy is on extracting and selling natural resources rather than other forms of production; oil- and mineral-rich economies can show double-digit shares while resource-poor economies show close to zero (World Bank, The Changing Wealth of Nations).	0.0%	2021	World Bank (Changing Wealth of Nations)
Container port trafficThe volume of containerized cargo moving through a country's ports in a year, measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) — a standard shipping-industry unit. A raw count that reflects both trade volume and a country's role as a transshipment hub: small countries with major ports (e.g. Singapore, the Netherlands) can show outsized numbers relative to their own economy (UNCTAD via World Bank).	25.2K	2019	UNCTAD via World Bank
Tourism expenditure abroadMoney a country's own residents spend traveling abroad in a year, in current US dollars — the opposite direction from the tourism-receipts figure above, which counts money incoming visitors spend locally. A country can be a net tourism earner (receipts exceed this figure) or a net tourism spender, depending on how outbound and inbound travel compare (UN Tourism via World Bank).	$29M	2014	UN Tourism via World Bank
Secure internet serversThe number of servers using encrypted connections (SSL/TLS certificates), per 1 million people — a proxy for how much of a country's online commerce and services run on secure, modern infrastructure. Distinct from the internet-usage and broadband figures elsewhere on this page, which measure who is online, not how secure the infrastructure they connect to is (Netcraft Secure Server Survey via World Bank).	194.4	2024	Netcraft Secure Server Survey via World Bank
Fixed telephone linesFixed (landline) telephone subscriptions per 100 people. Unlike the mobile subscriptions figure elsewhere on this page, this number has been falling almost everywhere for two decades as households switch to mobile-only — many lower-income countries never built out extensive landline networks at all and went straight to mobile, so a low number here can mean either decline from a past peak or a network that was largely skipped (ITU via World Bank).	5.8	2022	ITU via World Bank
Scientific & technical articlesScience-and-engineering publications counted per year — a selection of conference proceedings alongside peer-reviewed journal articles, indexed in Scopus and classified under the US National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics' Taxonomy of Disciplines, a broader and more current field list than 'journal articles in physics, biology, chemistry, math, engineering, tech and earth/space sciences' alone. The actual research-output dimension, distinct from the R&D-spending and researchers-in-R&D figures elsewhere on this page, which measure the money and people going into research rather than what comes out of it — a country can spend heavily on R&D without a proportional publication output, or the reverse (NSF Science & Engineering Indicators via World Bank).	3.7	2023	NSF Science & Engineering Indicators via World Bank

Sanitation accessShare of the population using improved sanitation facilities (flush toilets, pit latrines with a slab, etc.) that are not shared with other households — the WHO/UNICEF "basic" service tier.	90.5%	2020	WHO/UNICEF JMP via World Bank
Protected ocean areaShare of a country's territorial waters formally protected by law or other effective means (Protected Planet / WDPA).	0.0%	2025	UNEP-WCMC & IUCN (Protected Planet) via World Bank
Biodiversity hotspots protectedThe average share of a country's Key Biodiversity Areas — sites formally identified by conservation scientists as critical to a species' survival — that fall inside a legally protected area. A targeting measure, not a quantity one: distinct from the protected-land share elsewhere on this page, which counts all protected land regardless of whether it overlaps the specific places biodiversity most depends on. A country could protect a lot of land in general while still leaving its most critical biodiversity sites unprotected, or the reverse (BirdLife International, IUCN and UNEP-WCMC, SDG indicator 15.1.2, via Our World in Data).	0.0%	2024	BirdLife International, IUCN and UNEP-WCMC (SDG 15.1.2) via Our World in Data
Forest changeThe net change in forest area in the latest year — new forest gained through planting or natural regrowth, minus forest lost to clearing, fire or disease — in hectares. A raw count: larger countries naturally show bigger absolute swings even at a similar underlying rate (FAO Global Forest Resources Assessment).	30	2025	FAO via Our World in Data
Total CO₂ emissionsThe total tonnes of fossil-fuel and industrial CO₂ a country emits in a year. Unlike the per-person figure above, this isn't divided by population, so large, industrialized or populous countries naturally show bigger totals even at a modest per-person footprint (Global Carbon Budget).	150.6K	2024	Global Carbon Budget via Our World in Data
Greenhouse gas emissions per personPer-person emissions of all greenhouse gases — not just CO₂, but methane and nitrous oxide too, plus land-use change — converted to tonnes of CO₂-equivalent. Broader than the CO₂-only figures on this page: countries with large livestock herds or land-clearing can rank differently here than on CO₂ alone (Jones et al., National Contributions to Climate Change, via Our World in Data).	1.8	2024	Jones et al. (National Contributions to Climate Change) via Our World in Data
Air pollution deathsDeaths per 100,000 people attributed to the combined effects of indoor (household) and outdoor (ambient) air pollution, age-standardized for cross-country comparison. Where the PM2.5 figure above measures exposure, this measures the estimated health toll of that exposure (WHO Global Health Observatory).	254.0	2019	WHO Global Health Observatory via World Bank
Total greenhouse gas emissionsThe total tonnes of all greenhouse gases — not just CO₂ but methane and nitrous oxide too, plus land-use change — a country emits in a year, in CO₂-equivalent terms. The all-gas counterpart to the CO₂-only total above, and not divided by population like the per-person figure elsewhere on this page (Jones et al., National Contributions to Climate Change, via Our World in Data).	207.2K	2024	Jones et al. (National Contributions to Climate Change) via Our World in Data
Cereal yieldWheat, rice, maize and other cereals harvested per hectare of harvested land, in kilograms. A productivity measure, distinct from the agricultural-land-share figure elsewhere on this page (how much land is farmed) and the agriculture-share-of-GDP figure (farming's weight in the economy) — a country can farm a lot of land yet yield little from it, or farm comparatively little land and yield heavily (FAO via World Bank).	1,715.7	2024	FAO via World Bank
Electricity access, ruralShare of the rural population with an electricity connection — one half of a rural/urban split of the overall electricity-access figure elsewhere on this page. A national headline rate can hide a large gap between a well-electrified capital and a still-unconnected countryside (World Bank / IEA (SDG 7.1.1)).	86.0%	2024	World Bank / IEA (SDG 7.1.1)
Electricity access, urbanShare of the urban population with an electricity connection — the urban half of the same rural/urban split, almost always the higher of the two; the size of the gap to the rural figure above says more about a country's electrification progress than either number alone (World Bank / IEA (SDG 7.1.1)).	98.8%	2024	World Bank / IEA (SDG 7.1.1)
