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 Indonesia does report.

What the data says about Indonesia
Indonesia 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 Indonesia 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.
Indonesia sits in the middle third of GDP/cap (#139 of 214) as a UMC economy with LONG longevity.
Indonesia holds 283.5 million people and $1.4 trillion GDP (16th) at $4,925 per person - mid GDP/cap band, UMC, LE 71.3 years (146th, LONG). 47 WDI/WHO/ILO cells fill the topic blocks.
