What the data shows
The unweighted country mean is 49.9 million, compared with a median of 15.4 million. Each reporting country has equal weight; this is not a population-weighted or regional aggregate. The gap between the two highest observed values is 129 million. These comparisons describe the observations and do not establish causes.

- Sorting
- Exact source values; equal values share competition rank. Ties display by ascending country ID, then record ID.
- Statistics
- Unweighted arithmetic mean, median, and highest minus lowest. Derived decimals use half-up rounding; source values remain exact.
Why a newer year was not selected
- 2026: 0 available observations; 18 required.
Caveats
This is a selected-country comparison, not a global ranking. Missing countries may affect the distribution. A higher value does not necessarily imply a better outcome. Source observations may be revised.
