Low-Income / High-Informality
Tier 6 · 64 countries
The Low-Income / High-Informality group averages 19.2 of 100, but spans 14.1 to 30.8 across its members1.
A category is an average of real per-country figures. The range matters as much as the mean: a single number would hide how differently the members score.
