Limited scoring coverage for Puerto Rico
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 Puerto Rico from, so Puerto Rico's 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 Puerto Rico: 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.
The record in plain text — overall score, categories, strengths and risks, momentum, resilience, strategic position, and diagnostics.
