Indonesia

Overview

Indonesia lands at #32 of 72 on the Cooked Index — #32 Most Cooked. The clearest fault line runs through political institutions: political polarization (Polarization 60/100) is worse than 42% of countries tracked. Housing policy isn't far behind — housing cost burden trails 58% of the field. And environmental and industrial policy rounds out the picture: air pollution (PM2.5 35.4 µg/m³) sits worse than 82% of countries. Same scoreboard, different departments.

Overall score: 29/100 — 2 points above the global median of 27 (higher = more cooked). Where the system is holding up: homicide rate (Homicide 0.4/100k) — better than 96% of countries tracked. The story here isn't the country — it's the political institutions stack behind these numbers.
