Overview

Out of 72 countries, DR Congo sits at #8 — 8th Most Cooked. Three departments are doing the heavy lifting here: housing policy (housing cost burden beats 96% of the field, just not in a good way), public health policy (life expectancy, 97th percentile), and political institutions bringing up the rear. Different agencies, same energy.

At 46/100, DR Congo is 19 points above the median of 27 across all 72 countries (higher = more cooked). Where the system is holding up: billionaires hoarded (0 billionaires) — better than 100% of countries tracked. Strip away the country name and you're really looking at a housing policy problem.
