Figures are limited to the countries we have guides for (Australia, New Zealand, French Polynesia). GDP per capita reflects the latest IMF World Economic Outlook projection. French Polynesia data for HDI, CPI, and vacation days follows French national figures (as an overseas collectivity of France); homeownership, poverty, income, and education estimates are sourced from ISEE (Institut de la statistique de la Polynésie française). All figures represent the most recent available data at time of publication.
