Overview

Every country has a weak point. Jordan's happens to be housing policy, where housing cost burden ranks worse than 69% of the 72 countries on this list. Political institutions and public health policy aren't doing much better, landing at the 22nd and 68th percentiles respectively. Overall, that puts Jordan at #37 — #37 Most Cooked.

Jordan scores 27 out of 100 — exactly the global median (27). Where the system is holding up: billionaires hoarded (0 billionaires) — better than 94% of countries tracked. None of this is really about Jordan specifically — it's about what's propping up the housing policy numbers underneath.
