Overview

Every country has a weak point. Yemen's happens to be housing policy, where housing cost burden ranks worse than 99% of the 72 countries on this list. Healthcare financing and political institutions aren't doing much better, landing at the 97th and 92nd percentiles respectively. Overall, that puts Yemen at #4 — 4th Most Cooked.

At 51/100, Yemen is 24 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 92% of countries tracked. Strip away the country name and you're really looking at a housing policy problem.
