Frequently asked questions
What is San Marino's HDI?
The UNDP table records San Marino at 0.915 on HDI in 2023, with global rank 29.
Is an inequality-adjusted HDI available for San Marino?
IHDI is omitted for San Marino because UNDP does not provide a usable value in the cited table. An unavailable observation remains omitted rather than estimated.
Why is there no life satisfaction score on this page?
Quality-of-life data for San Marino appear only when the page can tie the value to a comparable source and year. The absence of a published observation is preserved explicitly. When the indicator is reused, preserve the distinction between level and distribution rather than creating a broader claim than the source supports.
Is HDI the same as quality of life?
No. HDI has three core dimensions: health, knowledge and standard of living. Life satisfaction remains distinct from the health, education and income dimensions used by HDI.
