🌐 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 Israel does report.

What the data says about Israel
Every figure on this profile comes from a specific measurement methodology, and OECD member states like Israel generally report the most complete and harmonized statistical series in this dataset: standardized definitions and cross-agency reconciliation between the World Bank, OECD, and WHO reduce, though never eliminate, the gaps that show up elsewhere. With a comparatively small population, Israel's national totals can move sharply on the back of a handful of large transactions or a single policy change, so year-over-year swings deserve more scrutiny here than they would in a larger economy. Reading several indicators side by side, rather than anchoring on one number, is the more reliable way to build a grounded picture of how people in Israel actually live, work, and age.
Israel clears the upper third of the GDP/cap roster (#28 of 214) under HIC with a PEAK life-expectancy stamp.
