Income groups
Population, total. Compare income groups within the selected country sample.
Indicator
Statistic
These groups describe only the selected countries, not global income group totals.
Sum by income group
Sums cover different numbers of countries (see legend). Use average or median to compare groups of different size.
- High income (HIC), 5 countries
- Upper middle income (UMC), 3 countries
- Lower middle income (LMC), 1 country

How the statistics are calculated
Use sums for population and GDP totals. Use population weighted averages for GDP per capita and life expectancy. Average and median describe the countries in the sample without weighting by population. Missing values remain missing; the table reports how many countries have values. These groups do not represent global income group totals.
