One composite verdict from 4 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 Gibraltar does report.

What the data says about Gibraltar
Gibraltar 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 Gibraltar against income-tier peers of a similar size.
Gibraltar sits in the middle third of GDP/cap (# - of 217) as a HIC economy with PEAK longevity.
Gibraltar holds 39.3K people and N/A GDP (mid-ranked) at N/A per person - mid GDP/cap band, HIC, LE 83.6 years (13th, PEAK). 18 WDI/WHO/ILO cells fill the topic blocks.
Use the topic tables and GDP/cap leaderboard to track vintages; "N/A" means the upstream agency has not published that cell for Gibraltar - we do not invent it.
