Overview

Every country has a weak point. Kenya's happens to be housing policy, where housing cost burden ranks worse than 88% of the 72 countries on this list. Political institutions and public health policy aren't doing much better, landing at the 50th and 89th percentiles respectively. Overall, that puts Kenya at #25 — #25 Most Cooked.

Overall score: 35/100 — 8 points above the global median of 27 (higher = more cooked). Where the system is holding up: billionaires hoarded (0 billionaires) — better than 97% of countries tracked. The story here isn't the country — it's the housing policy stack behind these numbers.
