Limited scoring coverage for the Cayman Islands
The World Bank (WDI) and V-Dem — our primary sources for the Overall Score and its Innovation and Stability categories — don't provide the complete series we score the Cayman Islands from, so the Cayman Islands' Overall Score and those categories show “No data” rather than an estimated number. This is a disclosed sourcing gap, not a fabricated zero.
Everything shown below is still sourced from providers that do cover the Cayman Islands: geography, government and named industries from the CIA World Factbook; population and demographics from UN World Population Prospects 2024; the energy mix from Ember; and mineral reserves from USGS.
Hand-sourced from the national statistics office (or the IMF, for the Cayman Islands), which our primary providers don't cover. Each figure is cited individually and is not mixed into the World Bank / V-Dem scores above.
