About the data: Figures come from WHO, World Bank, UN, FAO, Freedom House,
and similar global organisations (2022–2024 data). The $1,000/month income bar is in nominal
USD — the global median wage is roughly $300–400/month, so this is already the top 15%
worldwide. The "ever flown" figure (~20%) is based on pre-pandemic estimates that around 80%
of people have never boarded a plane (IATA/Airbus).
How the numbers work: Rather than multiplying global averages together — which gives absurdly small results and ignores the fact that blessings tend to cluster — this tool splits the world into 11 regions and uses realistic per-region rates for each attribute. If you have clean water, you probably also have electricity. The intersection counts reflect that reality. They're honest estimates, not precise census figures. Use them as perspective.
