🌐 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 Russian Federation does report.
- Life expectancy: 11.3 of 59
- Under-5 mortality: 15.8 of 59
- Access to electricity: 18.0 of 59
- Access to clean water: 9.4 of 59

What the data says about Russian Federation
Russian Federation 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. Its large population means national averages here can flatten meaningful differences between regions, so a single indicator rarely tells the whole story. Treating any single figure as definitive is a mistake in particular; the fuller picture comes from comparing Russian Federation against income-tier peers of a similar scale.
Russian Federation sits in the middle third of GDP/cap (#84 of 214) as a HIC economy with LONG longevity.
