Overview

Every country has a weak point. Ethiopia's happens to be housing policy, where housing cost burden ranks worse than 86% of the 72 countries on this list. Political institutions and public health policy aren't doing much better, landing at the 71st and 93rd percentiles respectively. Overall, that puts Ethiopia at #19 — #19 Most Cooked.

At 37/100, Ethiopia is 10 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 99% of countries tracked. Strip away the country name and you're really looking at a housing policy problem.
