One composite verdict from 3 of 5 World Bank series (life expectancy, under-5 mortality, electricity access, clean-water access, homicide rate), each benchmarked against every country tracking that series. A missing series never silently drags the score down: its weight redistributes across the series Bermuda does report.

What the data says about Bermuda

Bermuda sits in the high-income bracket but outside the OECD's harmonized reporting network, so its statistics come straight from the World Bank, WHO, and ILO source series rather than a jointly reconciled OECD dataset - still official, but with less cross-checking between agencies than an OECD member gets. Because output and income figures are converted at market exchange rates into current dollars, they can swing with currency movements independent of any real change in living standards, and for a small economy like this one that swing shows up more visibly in the headline numbers than it would for a larger country. The fuller picture comes from comparing Bermuda against income-tier peers of a similar size.

Bermuda clears the upper third of the GDP/cap roster (#3 of 214) under HIC with a PEAK life-expectancy stamp.

In North America, Bermuda's 64.6K residents produce $9.2 billion of GDP (158th worldwide) at $142,250 per person. Life expectancy 82.5 years (28th) stamps PEAK. The 23-series panel below is the working surface - not a restated national brochure.
