🌐 Livability Score
One composite verdict from 5 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 Brazil does report.
All indicators for Brazil
48 latest observations from World Bank WDI, WHO GHO, and ILO ILOSTAT (vintage through 2026-08-14). Values match the topic cards above; this table is the machine-readable export view analysts expect on a country profile.
🛣️ Road Safety
Fatality rates from OECD ITF; vulnerable road-user shares from WHO (where reported).
Sources: OECD ITF Transport Safety Indicators and WHO GHO road-user distribution (RS_246). Coverage: ~40 IRTAD member countries. Data years vary by country and source. Lower fatality rates indicate safer roads.
🫀 Disease Burden
Brazil's standout GHO cell is maternal mortality at 67 per 100,000 births (fleet midpoint 47) - that ratio, not the shared ischaemic-heart card, is what this profile is for. Summary metrics use 2021 data; cause-specific cards show their own observation year.

What the data says about Brazil
Brazil is classified as an upper-middle-income economy, a tier where statistical capacity, and therefore data completeness, varies more widely than in high-income countries, so a missing or older data point on this profile usually reflects reporting lag rather than an absence of the underlying activity. With a large population spread across a correspondingly large territory, national-level figures for Brazil can mask enormous gaps between its wealthiest and poorest regions - more so than in a small, geographically compact economy. The trend across several years of an indicator usually tells a more useful story than any single year's value.
Brazil sits in the middle third of GDP/cap (#101 of 214) as a UMC economy with LONG longevity.
Brazil holds 212 million people and $2.2 trillion GDP (10th) at $10,311 per person - mid GDP/cap band, UMC, LE 76.0 years (99th, LONG). 48 WDI/WHO/ILO cells fill the topic blocks.
